Sevenload Removes Guantanamo Bay Section

Sevenload, the German based media sharing startup I talked about yesterday, has decided to take down it’s special on Guantanamo Bay, the US detention facility housing Al-Qaeda and Taliban regime members.

My post here explains why I wouldn’t be using the site in the future. I still might not, but I’m glad they decided to take it down.

Their official line, as stated in a comment on the post, is that “this [Guantanamo Bay] discussion has now passed it’s prime”, but it’s clear that they got my message, I just wish they would be a little more upfront about it in the comment.

As you can see from that screen shot of where the Guantanamo Bay section was located, it says it was shutdown due to complaints.

I applaud them for taking this step, I still probably won’t be using their service in the near future, but if you find it of interest to you then I say you should go ahead and try it out.
