#AtheistRepublic

The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On June 26th, Atheist Republic discovered that one of our websites, BlasphemousArt.com, was suddenly down. We contacted our website hosting service to see what was wrong. We received a reply that said, in part [edited for clarity], "After checking from my end, I see that your domain blasphemousart.com is suspended due to an abuse report. The report states that you display content that is affecting the Sikhs community's religious feelings, and the same is offendable under relevant sections of law in India, violating our Terms of Service. Do keep in mind that the decision of unsuspension remains unchanged in this case. We are rooting for safe internet, so as we received a report from higher authorities, we can't unsuspend your domain name." This message is referring to an artwork Atheist Republic created of a Sikh woman rubbing her feet on the Guru Granth Sahib in a sexy way. So, according to this message, they received a complaint from the Indian government regarding this content. Instead of blocking this domain solely in the Indian market (as has happened to Athiest Republic many times by now), they globally banned us. This is outrageous on many levels:
We are not Indian citizens, nor within the country, and therefore not subject to Indian jurisdiction.
They took this action against us without prior notification or attempt to have us voluntarily remove the content, resulting in a total global ban.
They are enforcing blasphemy laws beyond India's borders.
The loss of this domain is a big hit to Atheist Republic, as it was our most important way of directing people to support our organization via Patreon. Please consider supporting our work on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/atheistrepublic), which you can do for as little as $1 a month.
