Sure, Spamhaus can be overly aggressive sometimes. The /22 listing based on a shared netname is a legitimate example of their methodology being too broad.

BTW, Spamhaus is an organized crime extortion racket. This was proved when they noticed some spam from a company called CyberBunker (now defunct). SpamHaus went to CyberBunker's upstream's upstream's upstream, and told them to blackhole CyberBunker.

That upstream (A2B Internet) said: why would we? You should go talk to CyberBunker first. In response to this, SpamHaus immediately blackholed all of A2B. SpamHaus never tried to resolve this with the end customer, or with CyberBunker, or any other intermediary.

A2B filed a criminal police complaint for extortion. Sadly it seems the verdict isn't public information.

As I always say the dude here is for 10% posting deals that no one is slightly interested in and 90% of time for wall of text about same propaganda topic.

So far his walls of text have been right, except for the part where he blames the left "activists" for everything and wants to kill them.

There are proper legal procedures for a reason. You can't just bypass them and get some company banned off the internet, or we'd have no internet left because everyone would always be reporting everyone to everyone.

Obviously the providers that insist on proper procedure will end up with more of the clients that got kicked off other providers - and will charge a higher price for it. If you think a crime was committed, report it to the police.

Are you trying to portray the company that had an MDMA lab in the data center as the victim?

I'm neither an activist nor a leftist so he was wrong about that as well, and I should know because I'm me

Emgh was accused of being leftist activist by reputable banned LET members

And this is precisely the point, this way of doing business will cause me and others to not find the business serious, and just like they have the right to serve this clientele, I have the right to voice that I don't agree with the the way of doing business.

Plenty of people will choose them as a provider because they act like this, but plenty also won't, some will actively avoid them because of it. They have this right.

The point of this thread was never to say "Aurologic is doing something illegal" it's to say "Aurologic might be doing xyz, if you're fine with the accusations and their way of doing business, use them, if you're not, consider not using them".

I'd like to know about all these things if I were looking for a new host for my business stuff as I wouldn't want to associate with a business like this. That doesn't make me an activist, it's just about being strategic.
