A webpage seeking tips from the public to enforce Texas’s severe new abortion restrictions has been told to find a new company to host its site or go offline.

The website, prolifewhistleblower.com, was set up by anti-abortion group Texas Right to Life to collect anonymous tips under the law barring terminations after six weeks of pregnancy — before many women know they are pregnant.

According to the law, anyone living in Texas can sue an abortion provider or anyone suspected of “aiding” an abortion to take place, with $10,000 rewards if they win in a civil case.

US web hosting company GoDaddy said in a statement…

The Texas Right to Life group will have to find a new hosting provider for its website that encourages people to report violations of the state’s restrictive new anti-abortion law.

GoDaddy took action after Gizmodo reported that Texas Right to Life’s new website, prolifewhistleblower.com, seems to violate a GoDaddy rule that says website operators may not “collect or harvest (or permit anyone else to collect or harvest) any User Content or any non-public or personally identifiable information about another user or any other person or entity without their express prior written consent.” GoDaddy’s terms of service also say that customers cannot use the…

“It’s just mind-blowing that even after all these years, ISIS could still find a way to exploit a hosting company like Amazon,” Katz said. “Of course, we should presume that ISIS will always be searching for ways to bypass security protocols, but this app isn’t even trying to stay low-key. It is blatantly filled with official ISIS claims, media and logos of ISIS’ media arms, clear as day. This app was clearly created to keep ISIS’ message and content alive and distributed online. … It is clear that the stakes of keeping such content offline is no less major than in past years.”

Due to the ongoing (though much improving!) COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA is continuing to make alterations to their normal schedule through the end of the 2020-2021 athletics year. For College Baseball, this means that there will be 16 dedicated host sites chosen for the regional postseason round out of 20 potential nominees.

On that list, to the surprise on nobody, is the beautiful ballpark that TCU Baseball calls home, Lupton Stadium in Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs, a top ten team and in first place in the Big 12 conference, have few, if any, remaining obstacles to hosting the first round of postseason play at home in front of what the governing body of NCAA Athletics has deemed will be a maximum crowd of 50% of capactiy.

Certainly, this has been a unique season, but the…

River Valley Community College, like all educational institutions, had a unique year. We shifted classes online and became experts in personal protective equipment. Our in-person classes looked like a science fiction novel with students and faculty adorned in masks, gowns and face shields. Technology kept students and faculty connected even while in different locations. Staff became adept at advising from home.

Despite the challenges, I believe RVCC became an even stronger community partner. While our students, faculty and staff have always been committed and dedicated to our communities, an opportunity for the college to serve as a vaccination site strengthened those ties.
