Which in my opinion… its not the companies business to know what you were hosting. Physically its on their property, but through licensing and contract agreement its not.

It’s not their business to know, but once they’re told they damn well better do something about it. They didn’t get in trouble for being a host who someone happened to upload child porn to, they got in trouble for being a host that someone uploaded child porn to, which they were told about, and still did nothing.

Google has always been good at blocking spam in my experience.

There is a number you can call to have anybodys number permanently blocked. There is also a number to call to have the telemarketers stop calling as well. I dont have them offhand but they do exists. Google it. Thats how I found them.
