Utah Webhost Killing American Soldiers

I know it's not possible for Orem, Utah based United Online Web Services, Inc. which runs the 50megs.com free webhosting service to police all of it's sites, but come on!

We are talking about the worst sort of jihadi site here, the type that trains insurgents to kill American soldiers using Improvised Explosive Devices.

If the link doesn't work that's because I filed a complaint with the company, but Open Source Intelligence took a screenshot.

If the link still works it's either because a) they haven't gotten around to taking down this disgusting site because of manpower issues or b) they are a bunch of idiots who in the name of 'free speech' are willing to see their friends and neighbors killed.

If b, then I suggest somebody go down to 1253 N. Research Way, Suite Q-2500, in Orem Utah and raise bloody hell!

UPDATE: Site down!

2 And why is there all this stuff in what looks like Polish? It's obviously Slavic, so if it's not Polish it's Czech or Croatian. Odd.

3 It's because 'Polish Expert' runs the Open Source Intelligence site.....

5 I bet there's some unit in various countries' police agencies that goes through P2P-networks, blogs and forums searching for stuff about harmful/illegal websites, which they then tell the servers to shut down.

6 A Finn, You'd think...but you'd be wrong.

7 We in Finland have police going through DC++, Kazaa and stuff like that to find and jail pedofiles and other people with huge amounts of questionable and/or illegal content in their shares, so perhaps they do some siteshutting while they're at it.

8 I used to work for them - they used to be much nicer about taking care of things like this, but once Netzero bought them, the management seemed to grow giant bureaucratic sticks in their heinies. Just be nice to the girls at the front desk - it's definately not their fault!

9 Why are you wasting so much energy being angry at the web page company? Do you want them to be big brother? I think the site was vile, but I believe in freedom of speech. Why waste time making sure everyone is saying what you want them to?
