Whatever this person is upset about, promoting it on a link that simply says "Age-restricted adult content. This content might not be appropriate for people under 18 years old. To view this media, you’ll need to log in to X" makes it hard to side with.

Lool..it's been super interesting to see Pro-genocide trolls on X and other social reporting posts that are nothing of the kind.

$7000 for you, kind sir.

Well, I guess I have to find a new registrar now. Any recommendations?

Shame on NameCheap!

FWIW, this domain posted mostly AI generated or otherwise falsified "proof" of "Israel's Massacre in Gaza" which were not rarely debunked as either not even in the area, "Gazawood" stories (a child supposedly killed in Israeli strikes appeared many times as different children and was proven to be an actor), and is largely funded by a shadowy entity with its roots in Qatar.

I am not a fan of domain name cessation or any kind of blocking access to data, but I'd imagine NameCheap did have a particularly high amount of complaints and legal inquiries (one comes to mind, where the site posted pictures of a Hamas hostage in a tunnel as "Israel starves teacher and forces him to dig his own grave" that is in litigation), that at some point beg the question if $5/year is worth it.

Gazawood. Brings back the momories of the Russian internet trolls circa 2015+ denigrating white helmets online with similar slurs and supporting Assadists in their mass slaughter of Syrian population.

You're in a fitting company with your creative vocobulary.

In any case, you're clearly just lying. This website (formerly TikTokGenocide.com, before the recent forced name change to genocide.live due to post-zionist tiktok aquisition trademark violation claim) never "posted mostly AI generated or otherwise falsified content". What it mostly did, was to categorize and archive content shared by people from Gaza online on social media, and to provide some context/archival notes on it. That's it.

It's not that different from various Syrian civil war social media video archival projects.

Hasbara is strong on HN. Noicce!

"Gazawood" .. so original.

All the international organizations confirming the genocide?

Ah yes, all are part of this Gazawood and Hamas.

pathetic.

Nothing like genocide apologia on hacker news. And you're lying about the situation, as usual.
