In case you wanted to prank Texas’ new snitch site for people who don’t care for other people’s private health care decisions, you may want to get in line. As Daily Kos reported on Sept. 2, people across the country are flooding prolifewhistleblower.com with a cornucopia of fake tips and assorted web flotsam. That’s likely why the site’s “rat out your neighbor” function appears to be glitching (as of this writing, anyway).

It’s a shame, because I’d planned to write up a thorough, double-spaced report on every last sperm I’ve squandered over the years — complete with a grainy “last known photo” for each luckless gamete. But, no. TikTokkers and other righteous rapscallions have beat me to it.

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…
