Programmers have also created and released scripts for others to automatically generate fake reports. The website responded by adding a new version of a Captcha to filter out bot reports. Furthermore, some Twitter users called for a boycott of GoDaddy, the company that hosts the website, as the website violates GoDaddy\u2019s terms of service. In response, GoDaddy gave the website 24 hours to move to another provider before cutting off service.", "online": true, "locations": [ "usa" ], "companies": null, "workers": 8451, "tags": [ "law_enforcement", "politics" ], "author": [ "wynniechan" ], "latlngs": [ [ 39.7837304, -100.445882 ] ], "addresses": [ "United States" ] }
