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".
This isn't a First Amendment issue.
GoDaddy has the right to toss anyone off of their service for violating their Terms of Service.
Mr. Hu is not a ninja.
They have rules and any site that violates them are subject to them. Supporting violence should certainly get anyone booted.
The government is bound to allow free speech. A corporation doesn't have to put up with things they find objectionable. There are other options for those pushing hate and GoDaddy is certainly in the right here.

Can godaddy get sued discrimination / censorship?
Now what if they banned votetrump.com ?
Or banned an anti H1B website ?
As usual, leftists want to censor things rather than refute them. The greatest enemy to free speech in the world is leftists. If you can refute someone, speak up and do it, even if the speech is disagreeable, such as white supremacy.
It's not censorship or a violation of freedom of speech. All they did was cancel the hosting of the site. The site is free to purchase hosting services somewhere else. It's basically as if GoDaddy owned a bulletin board and someone puts a flyer on there they don't like. They are free to remove that flyer and tell the person not to post it again. Individuals (corporations, etc) are not obligated to provide you a forum for your speech, and your right to free speech does not translate into a right to be heard by others.
Personally, I never thought I'd be on GoDaddy's side on anything, but I have no problem with this.
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for it to be pitted against a slightly greater evil
As usual, private enterprises want to distance themselves from objectively horrible people because it may cost them money.
As usual, objectively horrible people suddenly decide that it is "censorship" if private enterprises decide that they do not want to be associated with said objectively horrible people, and completely forget about the whole "freedom of association" thing.
Because they're the ones running down their opponents with cars...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?... I was a child when I first saw this movie and the Nazis seemed like a surreal element to me at the time, why would there be Nazis here in America when we had a big ol' war to defeat them? It seemed even sillier than the guys with rebel flags painted on their barn roof here above the Mason Dixon line.
They have rules and any site that violates them are subject to them. Supporting violence should certainly get anyone booted.
Well, let's hope they apply the same rules to the self-styled "Antifa" facists.
That's irrelevant when it comes to the fact that service providers can stipulate their own conditions for providing their services and you're agreeing with them when contracting for the service.

They're also free to start their own hosting company. The first amendment doesn't require others to let you use their press. In an ideal world every company would agree with you, but we don't live there and if GoDaddy thinks being associated with these people will hurt their business then they're obligated to ditch them.
Corporations should not have opinions on social matters.
Depends. GoDaddy is legally within its rights to refuse or continue (further) service. If the site calls for and supports continued violence, GoDaddy is (at least morally) obligated to report such calls to the relevant authorities and to discontinue service. You (or whoever you intended) could sue all you wanted, but it would go approximately nowhere, and it would further invite scrutiny and monitoring from the FBI (if you're in the US), or similar.
The only (slight) worry I have over this is that such sites will start burrowing into the Dark Web, where the general public cannot see and ridicule them for what they are. I can predict without looking that many of these sites are already there. Maybe that's a good thing - keep the bastards in the dark where they belong. But then, being able to easily point to something and show others "you can see what these chuckleheads actually believe right here (link)" is a good educational tool against folks who want to spread misinformation.
Quo usque tandem abutere, Nimbus, patientia nostra?
Unless they're literal Nazis.
I mean, come on. They're fucking Nazis for chrissake. If your business model relies on not alienating Nazis, then there may be bigger problems than your profit/loss statement.
You are welcome on my lawn.
I have long said that, in the west, the biggest censorship issue is private company not wanting certain speec and thuis relegating offline where it can die or spread the rot unbeknown. I feel split on the issue , my anti nazi side feels happy that the daily stormer get dinged, but my anti censorship side see the clear problem here.

Are they still free to purchase hosting services within the US, though? Anti-terrorism laws apply to that kind of extremist content.
Well good thing for them Trump refuses to call them terrorists, or even mention them at all.

Unless you bake cakes, then you can't refuse service.
> what about discrimination laws?
To which nazi-protection law are you referring? I'm unaware of it.
Before you say "First Amendment," I'll point out that that response would make you an idiot.
--I'm so big, my sig has its own sig.
-- See?
They absolutely have the right to express their views.
GoDaddy is under no obligation to give them a forum to do so.

You do realize that "Antifa" is an abbreviation for the German word for Anti-fascist, right?
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
The barrier to entry for the dark web, low as it may be, is probably enough to deter a lot of people from bothering to regularly visit the site and become radicalized.

Out gay man here. I have defended, and will continue to defend, people like Nazis, skinheads, the KKK, or any other organization to have a platform in the public square to spew whatever hate that they want. That is their right, and it should not be abridged. It doesn't matter if it's the KKK or the Phelps church protesting at soldier's funerals. They have the right to their opinions, and that right should never be taken away.
So how exactly am I, a proud leftist progressive, hating on the first amendment? How am I wanting to curtail the KKK from protesting? I cherish the freedom granted to every single person under the Constitution, and will defend that right to the death.
Yes, and "DPRK" is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
There were what a few thousand of them? Contrast this with the various anti-Trump demonstrations and unless your business is in Naziville it won't matter to a national chain and if they are a big enough group they'll just start their own companies. The Mormons did it so there's no reason these idiots couldn't. They probably do have a few cottage industries that sell them their Nazi-themed shit.
As an aside I have a hard time calling them Nazis. The Nazis ran one of the most horrible and efficient genocides of all time and built a war machine that took the rest of the continent and much of the world to fight off. These are just shit head white supremacists that were leftovers scraped from a gene Dixie cup adopting Nazi symbols. Another few generations of their racial purity and they'll all have more toes than chromosomes. Calling them Nazis just lets them think they're more badass than they are.
No, you can't refuse service because of race, sex, or sexual orientation.
If I went into a bakery owned by a Cambodian ex-pat and tried to order a cake glorifying Pol Pot I'd be justifiably refused. Political views and the advocacy of violence are not protected in that setting.
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
Just like how Obama didn't call the BLM protester who killed 5 cops in Dallas a terrorist.
"Oh, but that's different!" No, it really isn't. Both BLM and the Nazis need to go...they're both breeding violent, hate-filled people.
Are they still free to purchase hosting services within the US, though? Anti-terrorism laws apply to that kind of extremist content.
Yes, they are. The US still has very strong protections of speech, even despicable speech. What they can't do is incite people to violence.
what about discrimination laws?
What about them?
All businesses are free to discriminate against people for any reason whatsoever, unless the reason is on the short list of protected classes (age, gender, religion, etc.)
A business can refuse you service just because they don't like the clothes you wear, the car you drive, your hair color, or even just because they're in a bad mood.
In this case they probably would have had to leave the site up. Hate speech is free speech. Funny thing, the original rulings on speech were to benefit liberals, now the alt-right is using the same rulings.
So even a bunch of race supremacists holding swastikas aren't NAZIs in your book?

It is censorship, but corporations have generally been able to do that. I hope GoDaddy would do the same to an alt-left site advocating killing people as well.
While I totally agree with this idea it has not always worked this way in practice, leading the right (esp the extreme right) to feel that it is "leftist" censorship. The case of the baker who refused to make a cake for a gay couple, was sued and lost shows that corporations don't always have the right to do business the way they want. As a libertarian I think GoDaddy should be able to refuse to host anyone they see fit and bakers should be able to refuse to bake cakes for whomever they don't want to. The inequity gives the appearance of favoritism for one side.
--- Tolerance is the axiomatic "virtue" of those without convictions ---
I would sue GoDaddy with extreme prejudice if I was this lady.
If you were that lady you would be dead after being run over by a white supremacist, though you'd have one less neo-Nazi site disparaging your reputation online, so there's that small comfort.
Corporations are free to encourage or discourage a particular use of their services in order to try to ensure that their product ends up being what they want it to be. If you don't like what they're selling, vote with your wallet and go elsewhere.

What's ironic is they use fascist tactics. Beat everyone that opposes your viewpoint. They've been terrorizing every conservative event since the election. This is the first time they've actually run up against anyone as despicable as themselves.
The old terms are over-simplistic and may not be appropriate for all situations. Whether they believe in big gov't, small gov't, or purple gov't, they are "pro-Caucasian". That's the one thing they have in common; although each group may define it differently. For example, some are for mere separation of "races", saying mixing doesn't work and see the US being "polluted" by outside culture, while others claim Caucasians are genetically superior and therefore deserve to dominate.

Next thing you know, they'll be coming after GoDaddy for comments on articles, and naughty memes.
Yeah, well, now they're a terrorist group that campaigns against free speech and uses violence to silence anyone who opposes them. If you don't know this, you're seriously out of touch and you should stop talking about them like you know something relevant.
Yes and it was the Republican Party that freed the slaves so black people should vote for them right?
If this band of losers had called themselves "The Sons of Liberty" or some other organization or movement, you'd hardly suddenly support them because Samuel Adams did something 200 years ago under a similar name. The Patriot Act should have taught you how meaningless a name is.
Well, either he's a Nazi himself, or one of those pathetic alt-right types desperate to try to blame someone else for some repugnant Neo-nazi driving into a crowd of anti-Nazi protesters. Their champion, the current occupant of the Oval Office, is of similar mind, because he couldn't even bring himself to condemn a pack of evil White Supremacists. Just think about that, the President of the United States, the so-called "Leader of the Free World" is so afraid of angering his base that his direct utterances are basically exercises in moral equivalency, and it is left to others in his administration to insist that that represents an actual condemnation.
The United States has a immoral coward as its leader, but that's alright, since it appears his supporters are equally immoral and cowardly.

They have been beating people up,
Because we have idiot politicians that tell the police to not intervene. Both in Berkeley and in Charlotesville. If the cops were allowed to keep the two groups separate and put down any violence before it erupts into a mob scene we wouldn't have this shit so common.
They do. But they are also the legislature (creating rules), judiciary (determining, whether a rule is broken), and executive (acting on such determination) at once. Whether their action is sincere, or simply seeking to avoid boycotts and/or DOSing, they are wrong.
I do hate Daily Stormer with passion — since 2014, when they dismissed all of Ukraine's figures as "Jews" — if GoDaddy was Ok with them before, there is no reason to kick them out now.
Certainly not with such haste... 24 hours to move a site? Ridiculous...
The massive outrage about this is curiously selective. The "alt-right" are blamed for the violence even though they held their gathering and were attacked by the counter-protesters, who've been viciously violent before. All of the reports about the car charging into a crowd mention "melees" and "skirmishes" already occurring prior to that in passing. Oh, that's because someone died? Well, there were politically-motivated attacks with a deadly weapon before — sheer luck, that asshole merely injured his victims.
Lastly, much as the Nazist symbols and racism annoy me, they clearly have no real following and thus pose little danger. Meanwhile, the symbols of Communists and other hate-groups (like Black Lives Matter) were also on display and those, despite being far deadlier, do not seem to outrage anyone...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
You clearly don't know what the word meant, ever.
Antifa has ALWAYS been violent, you can consider that a bad thing - they believe they are fighting against evil. And they were US allies in the war.
But what they are not is, in any way, subscribers to fascist ideology. Punching somebody is a far-cry from being a fascist, ESPECIALLY when you're punching fascists. Neither does censorship make you fascist. Nor even authoritarianism.
These are all things that fascists did - but they are not exclusive to fascism, not symptomatic of fascism, nor a requirement FOR fascism.
On the other hand the idea that a country or state should be dominated by a particular cuture or race - that IS a defining attribute of fascism. The original NAZIs were fascists as well. The Neo-NAZIs remain so. Richard Spencer is an absolute fascist. Dozens of people in Charlottesville were waviing signs with the fasces on it (a bunch of axes tied together) - literally the symbol of fascism and in fact, the origin of the word.
The word STILL means what it meant in 1929 and using it to mean whatever the fuck you want it to mean achieves only two things:
1) it makes YOU look like an uneducated idiot
2) It gives cover to actual fascists to continue posing a danger to the entire world.
Neither of these are good outcomes.
You may think AntiFa's violence is no longer justified, I would argue that this weekend proved otherwise - but to call them fascist is merely to prove you don't understand what fascism was or why it was evil. You associate some of the things that some fascists did with the concept and call all who do those things fascists - all you do is make the most evil people on the planet look less evil by claiming that less evil people are on par with them. By your reasoning every republican who ever banned porn is a fascist too. After all - fascists did censorship right ? Every dictator no matter if they were a communist or a far right capitalist is a fascist by your stupid definition - even though they would not agree on ANYTHING.
It's not some catch-all word that describes everybody from Pinochet to Stalin.
It describes a particular ideology - that of Musolini, Hitler and their modern incarnates. Nobody, NOBODY else qualifies. The most fascist leader in the world today is Donald Trump. He subscribes to the overwhelming majority of the fascist ideology. That and that ALONE can qualify anybody for the name. It's the name of a certain ideology - nothing else.

You can stop right there so as to not waste anyone else's time. YES, violence is coercion, period. It's an act of statism. the Antifa are no less fascist than the DPRK is democratic.

Whether it is "the same" or not, it is openly violent and favors the ever-increasing government control of the means of production. Which makes them very very Fascist.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
Antifa, BLM, KKK, Nazis, they are all just different acts in the same Shit Show. They are all extremists and bigots who think the other side has no right to express an opinion, or even live.
You, focusing on "rednecks" are also exhibiting a bigoted opinion.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Are they Confederate Nazi's then since they've got the battle flag flag proudly on display as well? They're adopting the symbols of other groups (that shared some or many of their views) in order to bolster their own self-image, and to some degree to garner attention. They don't see the Nazi's as bad, they see the Nazi's as people who shared some of their ideas and were really successful and want to be able to project that they'll be successful and powerful too.
They're too weak (and unoriginal) to create their own original banner, so they rely on some idea of they past they've glorified instead. I'll be far more worried when they unite under a new banner, a banner that doesn't carry any historical significance that might set off some alarm bells for people getting involved. You're not going to fool anyone when you walk around waving a Nazi flag and of those who do rally under it, many will only leave after experiencing the dreadful life that comes along with such causes, and some are beyond any redemption, being true believers in their cause.
They're a bunch of sad wanna-be's and I suspect that the sooner the world can help them realize that, the sooner some of them will quit.
Well then it's nice to see that no matter where you begin it's entirely possible to lose sight of your original purpose and find yourself becoming what you loath given enough time. The world just keeps on changing like that.
Appended to the end of comments you post. 120 chars.
I never said it wasn't coercion. But it can only be an act of STATISM if it's the STATE doing the punching.
And NEITHER of those things is fascism.
Fascism is NOT a word that means "statism" OR coercion. Those have FUCKALL to do with what the word means

The government is bound to allow free speech. A corporation doesn't have to put up with things they find objectionable. There are other options for those pushing hate and GoDaddy is certainly in the right here.
This is one of those very tough cases, to be honest. I believe that a website disparaging a counterproster at a nazi protest is utterly repulsive, and I didn't see the website so I don't know if they were encouraging others to do the same (the article [yes, I read it] is unclear on the exact content), but for the sake of argument let's assume the site simply discussed their twisted agenda and said lots of very mean and repulsive things, but did not make an explicit call to violence.
GoDaddy does not want to host the site. Fine. Will Twitter allow them to keep an account? I mean, they seem to turn a blind eye toward ISIS, but they too are a private company and don't have to enforce their ToS evenly. Let's assume Amazon does the same thing and disallows them to use AWS, and let's also assume Google blacklists the domain from ever showing up on a web search, because 'a corporation doesn't have to put up with things they find objectionable'.
Will their ISP disconnect their account if they set up their own web server and point their domain toward their own self-hosted web server if the ISP finds their message objectionable?
Freedom of Speech has had two interrelated issues in the information age. The first is that even free speech was far more limited when it was 'a dude on a soapbox' vs. 'another dude on a soapbox', or more specifically, printing presses and 'a dude on a horse', because the distribution model was still far more limited than what we have today. Would the first amendment have been phrased differently if it was viable to foresee this very situation at that time? I don't know.
The second issue is what I dub 'the corporate abstraction layer'. The government can't do X, but a corporation can, and the government can compel a corporation to do X, so X is done. The government gets to point to the corporation to prove they didn't do it, the corporation gets to point to the government compelling them to do it, and thus there are few repercussions to either. The government is bound to allow free speech, of which 'posting on the internet' has been included as per a number of court decisions. However, every means of exercising that right, at some point, passes through a corporation which is not required to adhere to the first amendment if they sufficiently disagree with the content.
We now find ourselves in this problematic situation. I loathe everything this group stands for and sincerely wish they would all stop. However, I do believe they have a right to place their message on the internet. GoDaddy is in a pretty bad spot right now, because they can either stand for free speech by siding with a group that is highly unpopular in the court of public opinion. For them to do so would likely result in a boycott, mass domain migration, and no shortage of bad press. For them, it would be the worst possible hill to die on, especially since it gives them a better public standing to ban them. On the other hand, they have set a precedent of banning 'sufficiently unpopular speech', which nobody cares about 'now'. 'First they came for the neonazis'...
Thus, we have found ourselves in a place where free speech is no longer a right, but a privilege granted by some combination of actuarial tables, NSLs, and the court of public opinion. As terrible and abhorrent as these protesters are, it is this very type of situation for which the first amendment must be clearly defined in the 21st century, and a platform be given equally for unpopular ideas as popular ones.
Thank you Slashdot, for allowing me to post my unpopular opinion.
I think that counter protests to things like this are good. You could make just as much argument that if no one shows up that these's idiots will feel emboldened or as though the whole country agrees with them but are just too scared to come out and join them. To some degree no matter what you do, people in groups like that are going to look to rationalize any action at all to feed the internal narrative they've constructed.
However, I think counter protests should be a lot more clever. You can't really fight groups like this using a fire with fire type of approach. Instead you need to do something that mocks them while making them feel their demonstration is counter-productive. Here's a news article about how one German town handled a similar march/demonstration a few years back. Just watch the video included in the article and see how deflated a lot of those people look.
He condemned hatred on both sides because there is racism and hatred on both sides. The only reason why there has been this reassurance of white supremacy is because white racism is fashionable and the left have been "feeding the trolls" so to speak.
Censoring, no platforming, and violently protesting legitimizes anyone.
Attention is not their fuel. Hatred is their fuel. Ignoring them will not stop their hatred.
That same young and mutable you fear could just as easily think, "They must be OK because nobody's saying otherwise". Instead, the young and mutable need to see everyone saying "this is not acceptable".

An enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in bacon and cheese
I would agree with you, if everyone was up front about who they're refusing service to.
But that bakery that is run by bigoted homophobes doesn't give me any way to know they're bigoted assholes beforehand. So, if I was a customer of theirs, it would only be possible because they're not being transparent. You may be okay in supporting people with hidden hateful agendas, but I'm generally not.
In contrast, GoDaddy has me agree to their terms of service when I sign up.
And, of course, it's easy (as many people here do) to confuse these issues. Lots of people here are supporting hate. So they support the hateful bigoted bakers and they're against GoDaddy for not supporting hateful bigoted Nazis, neo-Nazis, and traitorous Confederate lovers. And lots of people here seem to be using "libertarian" views in a way to support hate. Whatever melts your butter.
What, the Daily Stormer? Of course it was. It was named after the German Nazi Party's weekly tabloid, Der Stürmer (1923-1945).
Now anonymous has taken over the domain, but you can check the wayback if you like. It had sections for "The Jewish Problem" and "Race War" full of racist imagery.
Now, to be fair some of the people who read and contributed to the thing were just chaosmongers. But that was true of the original Nazis too. Authoritarianism for the follower is about the thrill of transgressive behavior toward safe targets. Goebbels was an intelligent, educated man whose job was making shit up. And in a certain sense of the word, he believed his own bullshit, as far as he believed anything.
For the Nazis it was all about sentiment; they could be perfectly sincere about stuff they knew was false, because they liked the way it made them feel. That should sound disturbingly familiar.

Even so it sounds like a Bond Girl, "Daily Stormer" is not a lady.
Of course news about a fake are Fake News.
Are CBS journalists fascists now too? The problem with groups that condone violence against anyone, even people limited to some smaller group or part of the population, is that eventually the definition of that group will change and the lines will blur.
The issue with the cake bakers was that they were in Colorado, and Colorado law does include Sexual Orientation as a legally protected class (state's rights, hooray!). Now they're going to the Supreme Court, which plausibly may find that the Cake Baker's First Amendment rights were in fact violated and therefore the Colorado law is unconstitutional. But that's completely apples-to-oranges to violating a web hosting company's terms of service and being booted out because of it.
They are somehow worse than the people who turned up with guns, riot shields, "blood and soil" chants, swastikas, and then started murdering people?

I am not sure how you come to the conclusion that he Antifa are 'statist', since they are pretty obviously antagonizing the police (the arm of the State). And they certainly are not facist, except in the obvious non-tolerance of other opinions. Facism requires more than that: a desire for a strong central authority (typically a government), and typically a focus on a homogenous group set apart from others.
Antifa have more in common with anarchists than facists.
Note that all three of these groups often feel that violence, sometimes even terrorism/mass killings, can be justified in advancing their political goals.
If they are unemployed, it's usually because they had been undercut by cheaper labor from South America, jobs have been offshored or that affirmative action policies block them from government and other public sector jobs. That in itself drives the racism.
There are those people in the USA and UK who think globalism and austerity measures are a good idea because it keeps prices down, or rather the overhead of wage demands down.

While I'm not supporting Trump in any way shape or form, what impeachable offense has he committed? Unfortunately "being an idiot", "careless use of twitter", "stretching the truth", "denying science", etc. are not crimes in this country. And unfortunately impeaching because you don't like the guy and or his policy is not an option, nor should it be. Granted some of the stuff, like using his golf resorts, hotels, etc for official business, is pushing the line on self enrichment, I haven't heard any compelling arguments that he has committed crimes of an impeachable nature.
