Stormfront, one of the internet’s oldest and most popular white supremacist sites, has been booted off its web address of more than two decades amid a crackdown against hate sites.
Stormfront, one of the internet’s oldest and most popular white supremacist sites, has been booted off its web address of more than two decades amid a crackdown against hate sites.
The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law has claimed responsibility for the site's removal. Executive Director Kristen Clarke said in an email that the nonprofit group has "taken action against Stormfront."
"Their website is a vehicle used to promote racially-motivated violence and hate," Clarke wrote. The Committee said they sent a letter citing a clause in Network Solutions Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits using their domains "to display bigotry, discrimination or hatred.”
If they're shutting down hate sites, the DNC domain should be next. I've seen more hatred and intolerance from liberals in the past couple of years than has ever been displayed by the alt-right.
And what happens if in 6 months the political climate changes and the Huffington Post, Daily Kos, The Root are thrown off the web because these sites are deemed unpopular speech?
Those that applaud the shut down of unpopular speech are not only scary people, they are very short sighted. Things change all the time don't they?
I'm no fan of hate speech, but I think they have that right to say it, as long as they don't advocate violence.
I don't like censorship, and I dont like this at all.
