It has been theorised that this may be due more to politics than any
breach of terms - that Goatse has become an embarrassment and a
liability to the Christmas Island authorities by nature of being by
far the most famous *.cx site on the web and generating a bad
reputation for the island.
I've posted to the groups I regularly read in the hope that some of
you, whether from a Goatse fanboy or freedom of expression viewpoint
(does a stretched anus count as 'free speech'? You decide), might make
your feelings known to the powers that be (at the address above) in an
attempt to save an internet legend from oblivion.
An online petition has also been created to the same effect (not by
me, I might add).

It's been popping up here and there on net news sites. I saw it on
Kuro5hin this morning.
Although the page states that the domain was shut off "suddenly and
without warning", it still appears to be up and running. Yes, I am
irrepressably curious, why do you ask? :)
Since goatse.cx is now under the PetitionOnline Curse, I don't think
the site has much of a future.

AFAIK, it's a case of the CIIA informing the Goatse Man that he will
not be allowed to renew ownership of the domain when it expires.
I wonder exactly what percentage of the current traffic to *.cx sites
can be attributed to Goase?

Starting an internet petition is the least effective way of creating a

Yeah, I think how the law goes is that freedom of speech stops
once you sign a private contract effectively waiving it,
like ISP terms of agreement (you sign to follow their rules).
Or online games, maybe.
Though there are exceptions about private property,
like private malls pretty much treated as public places.

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for the Goatse Man,
and I didn't speak up,
because I thought that gaping anuses were gross.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

True, but that doesn't mean I like it. I think the right to property should
be one of the highest rights, just below life.
And if we force his old ISP to take him back, you'll have Stalin and
Chairman Mao's death toll (both of who eclipse Hitler's). Wake up, this
isn't censorship, it's about the ISP's rights to decide what -their- servers
will display to the world. If Goatse wants to put his shit up for the world
to see, let him find another place to host it.
And, on top of that, let's not elevate Goatse man above his station. His
site is neither art, nor political speach. While I agree that it should be
protected from -government- (bold, italic, double underlined and surrounded
by stars... then highlighted in yellow, just for good measure) censorship,
it's hardly a meritorious human achievement.
Oh, and check your facts. The Nazi's managed to murder 15 million, 6
million is just the Jewish count.
Sorry David, I've never heard of "Goatse Man" prior to this post.
Nobody in their right mind would visit it. And since I made the
mistake of letting my curiousity get the better of me for a few
moments (too long, too long), I'm looking for the spoons to gouge out
my eyes and remove the segment of my brain that recorded the brief
image I saw there.

It's not his ISP. It's the .cx *registrar*. The company that controls the
.cx zone is the one that decided they did not want a goatse.cx domain.

Yes indeed. He's come back from losing webhosts before (which is to be
expected with such a controversial site) - but now for the first time,
the very existence of goatse.cx itself is threatened.
And considering it's a recommendation by PPV, I wouldn't want
to either
Actually, now.
It isn't goatse but a goatse parody, probably even suitable for small
children.

Um, no.
This has nothing to do with ISPs. In fact, it's still there at http://
www.hick.org/goat if you dare to look.
It lost its DOMAIN NAME instead. So now the only way to get there is
either to go to the link above, or stick the appropriate IP address and
host name in your hosts file.
It just won't be the same sending people to oralse.cx for trolling.
Interesting... I wonder what the setup is on the Christmas Island.
According to the CIA's website, the total population is 433 people, so I
guess that means this stuff likely falls under Aussie responsiblity (and
registration would be done by whoever the Austrailians register their domain
names with). Can anyone from down under shed some light on this?
You don't need to be an aussie to figure it out. About 30 seconds
after googling for "Christmas Island Registrar", I found myself at
<URL:http://www.nic.cx/cx.home.cfm>, which says in part,
Christmas Island Internet Administration Limited* (CIIA) is a
community owned non-profit Christmas Island company... [which]
owns and operates the only ISP www.pulau.cx in the Territory on a
not-for-profit basis.
Their policies are linked to via an obnoxious Javascript menu at
<URL:http://www.nic.cx/policies/policies.cfm>. A quick perusal of the
site's AUP (pointlessly in PDF) shows that content
..including, but not limited to pornographic material and images
or materials that are obscene or indecent, or any data that is or

is prohibited.

I'm not sure whether this would constitute a monopoly or not. Sure, it's
the only web host on the island, but it's not the only host in the available
market.
