That means that Geocities provides disk space on their computer onto which I can load all the files that make up my website.
GeoCities offers web page design tools that don't require any knowledge of HTML.
Geocities offered a fast and free easy way to do this, so I quickly created an optimized doorway page with relevant textual content.

GeoCities is accused of disclosing to third parties personal information collected from member applications, "contrary to what had been represented to consumers," and of failing to disclose how it would use this information collected from its members, including children.
GeoCities also would be required to contact third parties to whom it previously disclosed the information and request that those parties delete that information as well.

GeoCities is dishonest to its members, selling their personal information without consent, changing stories, outright lying, glaring omissions and inaccuracies on their site, and claiming to respect them and their opinions while silently squelching anyone whose ideas are at variance with theirs or those of their advertisers.
