Texas Abortion Snitching Site Now Shares Web Host With Far-Right Extremists

A Texas anti-abortion group moved its online portal for snitching on abortions under the state’s extreme new law to a web hosting service known for working with far-right extremists and conspiracy theorists.

And it may go too far for even that provider.

Texas Right to Life, the evangelical Christian group behind the site, set up the online reporting operation to enforce the new “vigilante” law, which went into effect last week after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to block it. The law, signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott earlier this year, bans all abortions after six weeks — even in cases of rape or incest — before many people even know they’re pregnant.

But the reporting site was bounced last week by hosting provider GoDaddy for violating privacy policies barring…

Texas anti-abortion whistleblower site now hosted by right-wing, neo-Nazi web server / LGBTQ Nation

Texas Right to Life’s anti-abortion whistleblower site has found a new home on a web hosting service popular with right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis. Even so, the site’s aims may be even too extreme for its new far-right hosts.

The site, prolifewhistleblower.com, asks people to leave anonymous tips reporting doctors, clinics or other individuals that may have helped women get an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected. A new Texas law forbids such procedures and offers a $10,000 reward to any private citizen who successfully sues somoeone who “aids or abets” an abortion.

Controversial Texas abortion law tip site goes offline as webhost GoDaddy refuses to host it

A so-called “whistleblower” website that allows users to report suspected abortions in Texas has gone offline after web hosting company GoDaddy said it had violated its terms.

“Last night, we informed prolifewhistleblower.com they have violated GoDaddy’s terms of service and have 24 hours to move to a different provider,” the company said in a statement on Friday.

The site, run by anti-abortion campaigners Texas Right to Life, was set up in the wake of a new Texas law that effectively outlaws abortions in the US state, making them illegal in all circumstances once a medical professional is able to detect a fetal heartbeat.

The site’s owners said on Friday that it would be up and running again with a new provider “within 24 to 48 hours”.

However at the time of writing, the whistleblower tip…

Pro-life tech leaders court Texas Right to Life after GoDaddy drops domain hosting for whistleblower site

Texas Right to Life was working with pro-life business leaders to transfer its whistleblower site to a new host Saturday, a day after GoDaddy shut it down amid alleged violations of its policy.

The web hosting giant cut service for the whistleblower site, not Texas Right to Life’s main domain, on Friday, alleging that it violated a policy on gathering information without the subject’s consent.

Texas Right to Life set up Prolifewhistleblower.com to help users report violations of Texas’ new heartbeat law, which took effect Wednesday and allows anyone to sue if an abortion is conducted after cardiac activity can be detected.

Web host GoDaddy boots Texas Right to Life’s abortion tip site

The website, which was set up to allow people to submit anonymous tips about Texas abortions, was flooded with fake tips before it was taken down.

AUSTIN, Texas — Web hosting company GoDaddy has removed a site set up by Texas Right to Life for users to submit anonymous tips about when the new Texas abortion law is being violated.

The website, prolifewhistleblower.com, aimed to “help enforce the Texas Heartbeat Act,” a law that allows citizens to sue anyone performing or facilitating an abortion after around six weeks into the pregnancy.

According to a release from Texas Right to Life, GoDaddy…
