from the downvoat dept.

According to an announcement by Voat administrator Atko, HostEurope.de has shut down the servers of Reddit alternative Voat on the grounds of Voat hosting "political [sic] incorrect" content. This was done without warning and without reference to any specific content. Voat has since moved to CloudFlare.

takyon: CloudFlare is displaying Error 520 for the site, so here are some other articles about Voat:

Anti-censorship community Voat dropped by hosting service over 'political correctness'

From VentureBeat:

"Our hosting provider, hosteurope.de, has terminated all our contracts and shut down all our servers without issuing a warning or trying to talk to us," wrote Atko. "This includes my private server which was only used to host my girlfriend's blog. She is a scientist. She published her research papers on that blog (preformatted papers to which she owns the copyright). That server contained no other data whatsoever."

Atko says the only reasons he was given by the host were: "We have received significant information that the content on your server includes political incorrect parts that are unacceptable for us" and "we cannot keep bond of trust to you as our customer."

    There will come a time when woman will be free from the burden of bearing children, and men will be free from having to adapt and keep a low profile to keep woman, job and shit...

    Then, motherfuckers...
    I will take a machete, gather some good comrads, and go an a rampage slaughtering jews and other butthurt "minorities".
    Also, keep in mind, that the idiots the authorities have are not the actual natural born military personel and other generally dangerous types. They are just morons who have a job, weapons, and are still alive, because other dangerous people also have families and are not as organised...
    But, god damn it, when the time to be free finally arrives...
    I want to see the horror on the face of these brave police officers, pillars of the community, when they look into the eyes of east european psycho...

    Man, I can't wait =)=)=)=)=)
    Too many fucking jews and sensitive people around...
    Let's ditch fucking woman and family and just go on a rampage today :D
    Anyone coming?

    Exactly my thoughts. Dangerous people are rarely in the police or military. The police and military conducts checks to make sure psychos don't get in.

    When people look at me, they must be like... a politically correct weakling afraid of making even eye-contact. A non-threat that can be pushed around.

    What they don't know is I can be anyone. I could go into their house, rape their wife, hang their pets, and eat their heart while they are still alive. Then go home and sleep like a baby at night.

    People don't realize that there are real life psychos capable of nearly everything. And they are smart people, who will get away with it. For them its just not worth it to go on a rampage yet, so they hold themselves back for another day.

    I may be one of them but I am also afraid of them. And the fucker who wronged me will have to watch his back for the rest of his life.
