"Dr." Dino Censors Critics

Monday September 17, 2007
It's pretty fair to say Kent Hovind* doesn't like his critics, which are legion. It seems that lately he's taken to sending DMCA "takedown" notices accusing his critics of copyright infringement, and content hosts like Youtube are only too happy to comply, not only taking down videos critical of Hovind and his ideas, but canceling the accounts of those posting, without giving them a chance to respond to Hovind's accusations.

Read more about the fiasco at Rational Response Squad.

*For those who haven't yet had the mispleasure, Hovind is a particularly nasty example of what right-wing evangelicals enthusiastically refer to as "creation scientists." In reality, he's a wingnut with a xeroxed "degree" from a diploma mill who fancies himself a scientist. He's currently cooling his heels in prison for tax evasion, but appears to have more unsupervised internet access than he ought.
