GoDaddy Expels Neo-Nazi Site Over Article On Charlottesville Victim (bbc.co.uk)

Reader Big Hairy Ian writes: Web hosting company GoDaddy has given a US neo-Nazi site 24 hours to find another provider after it disparaged a woman who died in protests in Virginia. The Daily Stormer published a piece denigrating Heather Heyer, who was killed on Saturday after a car rammed into a crowd protesting at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville. GoDaddy had faced calls to remove the white supremacist site as a result. The web host said the Daily Stormer had violated its terms of service. "We informed the Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service," GoDaddy said in a statement on Twitter. Previously, some web users had called on GoDaddy to remove the site -- including women's rights campaigner Amy Siskind. Violence broke out in Charlottesville, Virginia, after white supremacists organised a controversial far-right march called "Unite the Right".

    They have the right of that as they want, including doing the same to anyone else who uses their service. Right there in their ToS. Maybe next time it'll be someone else, because they wrote a blog post and the next moral outrage will be misogyny.

    But let's not forget some things, she was an idiot. She went out of her way to jump on the back of the car and got killed because of it. Search the videos and pictures if you want to actually see it. Why? Who knows. GoDaddy had no problems with having them for years, but now it's suddenly a moral outrage. And there's a whole lot of really weird shit going on with the entire thing, everything from the "nazi's" showing up with their brand new flags with creases on them. To the police being ordered to stand down. And then the UTR which had a permit, being funneled into a group of antifa who further attacked them. Or that the police were sitting on their hands, doing nothing, nor separating the crowds.

    Not to mention the absolute freakout by the media, and left calling for this to be "domestic terrorism" and blaming the "alt-right" or "neo-nazis" or "white nationalists" whatever the catch phrase is in this news cycle. I've even seen media flapping heads claiming that this was all because gamergate. But, a muslim guns down a bunch of gay's, but it's "not all muslims." Yeah, just fuck that whole thing you sacks of shit.

    You do realize that their actions have proved them to be more "fascist" than those they accuse of Fascism, right?
