How many just regular folks would actually pick Epik? Why?

I intend to for future domain registration. - Register.com is an annoying cesspool of value-add upsells and is extremely expensive in the process, with added cost to not have your personal info attached directly to your domain whois. - GoDaddy, other than the creepy ads, has shown plenty of willingness to remove domains hosting content that they don't like, even if it's legal. - I think Google is a registrar, but I'm…

Gandi? Namecheap?

Google is safe, simple, and they never bother you. I'm cheap, but will pay $13 just for piece of mind.

You cannot trust google for anything like domains you rely on, unless you have a contact there to talk to a human.

If its not a free service best assure the reader legal action will follow. Then the easiest solution is to restore access.

Eventually the cloud is going to burst and everyone’s data will be public. The motive will be similar to this one, where a huge blast radius of collateral damage is accepted in the name of harming bad people. Seeing people eagerly download this data that surely includes countless amounts of personal info of non-Nazis shows this clearly.

I was considering moving my domains over. I'm tired of tech censorship, I don't want to support companies that engage in it without legal requirement.

Fortunately, given the purported scope of the hack, it seems we'll be able to actually quantify that. How many of the websites weren't hosting violent or extremist content? If this is real, we should be able to get an exact percentage.

Twitter hosts violent and extremist contents. Now please give me jack Dorseys address, phone number, and social security card so we can exact justice /s

That there are people on this forum advocating for vigilantism is frightening. We are quickly approaching the point of lawlessness as a society.

Epik pushed back against the mob, particularly against Chad Loder who some consider (according to Andy Ngo) to be an Antifa extremist. No doubt this was retaliation. https://t.co/LUvexnk0fk

Andy Ngo is a grifter.

By what tortured definition of grifter? Normally what Ngo does is called journalism.

Why? This was Epik being hacked not AWS or Azure. It’s just a domain registrar. And a shady one at that. Their lack of security is not indicative of the rest of the cloud.

Lest anyone be confused, this is Epik the web hosting company[1], not Epic Games the videogame company[2], or Epic Systems the healthcare software company[3].

Nor is it Epic! the digital reading platform for kids[1], not EPIC the Electronic Privacy Information Center[2], or EPIC Provisions the company behind high protein meat snacks[3].

Anyone thinks its a apple employee who did the hack ?

Not Epic Games but Epik.

But nevertheless, in the real world, Apple employees don’t care much about Epic Games. A lot of them probably have a personal account on Epic Games Store to get their free games. Like the random people they are.

Pay attention to not mix up the marketing bullshit drama of those companies around this trial with the humans working for theses companies. I doubt anyone working in there is bothered with this trial (appart from legal departments).
