Steadfast has a private network with peering points throughout the United States along with London and Amsterdam.[8]
Controversy
In November 2007 the Chicago Tribune published an article on the hosting of hate sites in America, where they are protected by the First Amendment. The Anti-Defamation League noted that Steadfast hosted 17 such sites.[9] Steadfast responded on the official company blog that they feel content that freedom of speech was more important than imposing their own moral judgment.[10]
