MyLot-The New Internet Thought Police

Censorship Run Amuck

There are many people who post on MyLot. My husband and I are among them. Recently, however, it has become almost impossible to keep posts from being taken off the site. MyLot is applying censorship to all posts which mention "Islam", "Muslim" or "mylot" in a way anyone deems "negative". These rules do not apply to any other religious sect, cult or political affiliation. I do not know their reasons, but I am suspicious.

I thought the internet, like America, was supposed to be free. I suppose I was wrong.

Further, the owners of mylot do not share their names or the address of the company on the website. There is NO contact information provided. The domain name is registered to:

LLC, MyLot mylot@emc-online.com
12920 Metcalf Avenue
Suite #120
Overland Park, KS 66213
US
913-378-2062

There is also a rather strange affiliation with Ms. Latina Renee Enterprise, LLC. The CEO is Ms. Latina Renee, a 27-year-old Deputy Program Manager/System Engineer from Philadelphia, PA. Her websites include msmoneygirl.net and msmoneygirl.ws (that is in Samoa), and she claims to be an affiliate with the world's first television advertising agency that's Internet-based and designed to be used by local businesses.

Now, I'm not a real detective, nor do I play one on TV, but doesn't it seem odd that the people behind mylot are afraid to show the world who they are. Why do they need to block an unimportant person like me from their discussion site? Why is it against their rules to post articles using the words "Islam" and "Muslim?" Who is Ms. Latina Renee and why isn't her "company" listed anywhere except the internet?

I have a lot of questions, but few answers.

I've had blogs on many sites, and I've never before encountered such biased behavior as that exhibited by MyLot management. There is no need for such behavior and as such, begs the thought, "What is going on?"
