GoDaddy gave The Daily Stormer 24 hours to move its domain elsewhere after the extremist site violated the web host’s terms of service by posting an article disparaging the woman who was killed while protesting a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend.
GoDaddy posted on Twitter Sunday that it had informed the neo-Nazi website that it had a day to move to another provider.
Reuters reported Monday afternoon that the site was being hosted by Google. But NBC reported that Google was canceling the the site’s registration because it violated the tech giant’s terms.
The Daily Stormer posted an article about Heather Heyer, who was killed Saturday when a white nationalist rally turned violent. The article denigrated her for her physical appearance and for having what the website said were anti-white male views, Reuters reported. One person was killed and more than a dozen were injured when a white nationalist allegedly drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters Saturday.
The Daily Stormer claimed on Monday that its site had been hacked by the group Anonymous. The group denied any involvement, tweeting they have “no confirmation” that Anonymous was involved and saying it looked like a “stunt” by The Daily Stormer that may be having “issues finding a new host.”
We have no confirmation that "Anonymous" is involved yet. Looks more like a DS stunt. Wonder if they are having issues finding a new host. https://t.co/ikXXRBfC5p

Time for all other web-hosts to do a similar cleansing.
Did any of you see the cartoon about Heyer on Twitter? Someone opened an account just to post it, and he was banned pretty quickly, but it was vile. These nazis are truly sick people. Absolute lacking in compassion or humanity.
Facebook could use some similar sanity…

I eagerly await the cries of “First Amendment rights” and gleefully reply that it does not apply in this case. Congress has made no law restricting free speech, you Nazi assholes.
Alt-real right-wing “free speech” has proven to be very expensive… nothing free about it… look at the cost in Charlottesville.
These goons consider racial equality as some sort of lib tyranny.
