The title of this submission should be "CENSORED: How the M&G got taken down". Linode aren't the bad guys here and the title is flat-out misleading.

It is unclear that Linode is acting like a good guy here.

Either way that is opinion, best to leave the reader to make their own mind up.

Was previously 'Linode Shut Down a Newspaper'
