Censorship of Blogs

My fellow blogger, Erik over at Restoring Love, dropped me a message today and told me how his blog had been shut down by his web hosting provider(siteground.com), alleging that his site contained pornography. It has been my experience that Restoring Love (restoringlove.com) has very decent, tasteful photos, and no pornography. Erik indicates that siteground.com closed the blog with no warning or possible negotiation and he believes that it was a case of pure homophobia. Erik further advised that it took four (4) days to recover and have everything working on a new host provider. It could have meant closing the blog if we had not made a backup last week.


Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have no back up, so this blog would cease to exist if something similar were to happen.
