Censorship and Homophobia from Bluehost.com!
I recently helped by boyfriend put up his website of art photography. I told him to use Bluehost.com since it was the web service provider I was using, and I thought they seemed pretty good. After only two weeks, Bluehost pulled the plug on his site claiming he was delivering pornography. They did this without any warning.
After he called to inquire, they exclaimed that "if you can't see it in a Disney movie" they consider it pornographic. It's funny, their initial page doesn't seem to market themselves as the web service for parents and kids, and they obviously haven't seen the bare-breasted, ass-slapping excerpt of The Abominable Freedom on my site.
You need only to look for yourself at what they consider pornographic to begin to wonder if they have mixed pornography up with the word homosexuality. In other words, in the context of Jamil's sixty some photographs there are only three that show nudity. The style of these three photographs on there own is a far cry from porn. In the context of the other works, even less so. So what's there problem?
My site expires in January and I don't plan on continuing with them. If any of you out there are considering choosing a web hosting provider or know anyone that is....stay far away from Bluehost.com and spread the word!!! Jamil's website is now up and running via Godaddy.com.
