ICE wants its mask back, and hired a company to ask

I'm glad there's a torrent for this information that will always be available:

That’s the source code for the icepi.cx web site, not the information itself.

Thank you! Fixed, now it points to the actual data as seen here:

Registrars that unconditional comply with malicious takedown orders should be boycotted outright.

“By mid-morning, icepi.cx no longer resolved. Its registrar, CentralNic, had placed the domain on serverHold.”

Especially relevant for the HN audience.

Are there any registrars that are known to not do that?

'Bulletproof' hosting and domain services resist takedowns. Irondns.is comes to mind.

The registry sets serverHold, not the registrar.

I remember reading a blog post or something about VPN providers complying with law enforcement requests. The author said "Those companies can't afford a lawyer. They can't afford a lawyer's _coffee_." I don't know if that's the case here, but I don't expect any network-tech-as-a-service company to put up a fight for anything.

> In the meantime the site is online again under a domain from a different registrar (http://icepicx.is/)

DHS, ICE, CBP, etc. are public employees and cowards, neither of which deserves anonymity. The public deserves to know what feckless people are killing citizens and immigrants and prosecuting the innocent.

This went from being #1 on Hacker News to not even being listed anymore. WTF?

natpalmer1776 | 17 hours ago

It showed up on the front page for me just now

Edit: It's now flagged. Reaching out to hn@ycombinator.com to see if it's able to be restored.

That was a wild ride! It went up so fast in the first hour then stalled out completely once the flagging started.

laimewhisps | 15 hours ago

Yeah, it's bogus. It was literally at #1 but only lasted like 10 minutes before disappearing completely then getting flagged.

why are you surprised?

I've heard them say that they have COVID-19 and they're trying to "stop the spread". I guess Biden's policies are kind of biting us in the ass now...

COVID policies, including masking, started under Trump not Biden. Trump rather infamously refused to wear a mask because he thought it made him look weak in front of the press.

160 points and flagged? Why?

Flock is YCombinator. What do you think? SF has always been an urban refuge for rightwing thought. All discussions about the technological fascist rise get flagged
