can someone explain to me how a site can be disabled over something like this? I mean go ahead, order the content deleted, that's what the people suing should want right?

But killing a site over some "bad" information just seems excessive.

It's kind of scary that a website can be shut down just like that. I'm sure they will find hosting out of US jurisdiction anyway, but still, it almost seems like violation of freedom of speech. (p.s. I don't oppose H1B program)

Agreed, even though I am OK with the H1-B program. I doubt this judgment will stand on appeal, but perhaps they're gambling that the website operators won't have the money for that. disappointing behavior from a judge who doesn't seem to understand the internet.
