and that includes when looking at taking over a site's domain hosting. The following, from Vision Internet, is a frontal attack on the right to defend yourself when speaking out on any subject. It shows how as many companies as take this position have manoeuvred the internet to lie under their corporate control and at their mercy. They want to allow any malicious complainer to have the power, on say-so, to have any website's content censored or cause it difficulty in getting rehosted. This agenda has been set in place stealthily. It can be used politically to suppress anything in any domain-hosted website.

I won't name the other company involved because their response to the threatened website's legal defence of its content, and its right to be made, is still awaited.

My answer to Vision Internet makes the case that its position is illegal. It should be used upon all companies who take the same position.

my answer:

Because you wrote the above without taking any account of whether a complaint against a site has any foundation, you have 100% zero case to prevent me calling you a bad company on the evidence of it. I don't mean on the site, I mean in points of social or professional contact. It will not be a defamation of you because it is factually supported. Unless automatically and not even discretionarily, the only position you ever take towards complaints against websites is to scrutinise 2-sidedly whether the complaint has any basis and not take a position against likelihoods of unfounded complaints, then you are a self-admitted party to helping any malicious fraudster (as the person causing my problem is) to censor any website they like at whim. That is unconstitutional because it does not uphold the right of any accused person - or website - to give a defence case. Where the website's subject is medical, as it is in this case, it means your position is a blank cheque for medical falsification and concealment.
