As of September 5, website host provider, GoDaddy has officially cut ties with Texas Right to Life’s whistleblowing abortion website after they violated the host’s terms of service.
Texas Right to Life, an anti-abortion group, was forced to find another website host after GoDaddy gave them an ultimatum for violating their terms of service with their whistleblowing antics.
The group attempted to persuade citizens to send in tips to a “whistleblower” website, intending to “ensure that these lawbreakers are held accountable for their actions.”
“We have informed prolifewhistleblower.com they have 24 hours to move to another provider for violating our terms of service,” a spokesperson for GoDaddy told The Verge.
By late Friday, it appeared it found that home: Epik, the provider known for saving controversial websites and is now home to prolifewhistleblower.com.

The tech company reported that the whistleblower site violated its Terms of
Service, specifically Section 5.2, which states: “You will not collect or harvest (or permit anyone else to collect or harvest) any User Content (as defined below) or any non-public or personally identifiable information about another User or any other person or entity without their express prior written consent.”Instead of allowing people to give anonymous tips about others directly from Epik, Prolifewhistleblower.com now takes the site’s visitors to Texas Right to Life’s primary website.
Epik said it “persuaded them to stop collecting anonymous tips and to take it off the internet entirely.”
GoDaddy is known for severing ties with websites that encourage discriminatory or offensive behaviors, having done it numerous times before.
This break comes after Texas announced a new law that makes it illegal for women after six weeks of pregnancy to get abortions with no exceptions of rape or incest and for people to help in the process of getting one.
