-They claimed that the hosting company is responsible for hosting it, and also responsible for the defamatory statements on their server.
-They claimed GoDaddy is equally responsible for registering the domain name, deepcapture.com
- They name google for having links to the site as well in their search engine. But don’t seem to make a claim against them. But they seem to be suing to have the links removed.
I think they forgot to sue the internet archive and other search engines.
The website appears to have went offline.
