I submitted 14 complaints to the abuse and legal department of Digital Ocean about one of their customers publishing racist, defamatory, threatening, hateful and anti-Semitic material about me, members of my family, my deceased mother, my customers, and even minority friends. I understand freedom of speech allows racists scum to publish such information. But in this case, this is clearly against the TOS of Digital Ocean. Yet, your stands by this racists piece of garbage and allows him to publish his trash. I even personally visited the office of Digital Ocean in Manhattan and informed them of the website that is publishing hateful and defamatory material about me and other Jews and minorities. But Digital Ocean does not care.

Greetings! I have reached out to our trust and safety team who has been working with you on your complaints. Can you share the details of a page including hate speech in violation of our terms of service?

It is our understanding that you are pursuing a DMCA related dispute as your complaints indicated. We have reviewed the page you have linked and it was reported to me that it did not find it to meet the criteria of hate speech. If we are incorrect in this conclusion, specific examples showing this will make this an easy matter to resolve.

Ryan,

The DMCA and material published by your customer Oxebridge.com is separate issues. Please explain to me why the following material published by your customer does not violate your TOS:

Want more? I got over 100 other articles/posts that violate your TOS by Oxebridge.com. Unless of course your above TOS is not really enforced?

Once again, please explain to me how the material published by your customer Oxebridge.com is not abusive, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive? Please explain how it does not violate your Code of Conduct as you advertise on your website. I sent an email to your support/abuse manager Zach Bouzan-Kaloustian, and he has yet to reply?
