Oldest online website for white supremacists shut down for promoting hate speech and violence.

Courtesy of the AP: 

The founder of the internet’s oldest white supremacist site said he was trying to get back online Monday after a company revoked its domain name following complaints that it promotes hatred and is linked to dozens of murders. 

Don Black, a former Ku Klux Klan leader who has operated stormfront.org since 1995, said he didn’t receive any warning before Network Solutions blocked the use of the stormfront.org name on Friday. 

Stormfront.org had more than 300,000 registered users, Black said, with traffic increasing since a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Popular with the KKK and neo-Nazi groups, the site included forums where users sometimes promoted white power events.

Black, the founder of the site, thinks he can get the website up again under another domain, but fears that will just be shut down as well.

Other neo-Nazi or white supremacist websites have recently suffered a similar fate.

All things considered the events in Charlottesville have proven to be a real problem for certain hate groups. 

According to the folks who filed the complaint users of Stormfront.org have been connected to over a hundred killings including the 77 people slain by neo-Nazi Anders Breivik at a camp in Norway in 2011.

Here's hoping that they NEVER get back online.

      The pre-Charlottesville chats include discussions of potential violence, the use of weapons, and excitement at the prospect of “fighting for the white race.”

      Is running people over with cars some of the "we talk alot of shit on the internet" the creepy Cantwell referred to on the Vice video? Then one of them murdered one and injured many with his car.

      Glad these groups are being shut down on the internet, FB, and Paypal.

    ‘One big reality sh*tshow’: Internet pounds Trump for heartless ‘ratings’ excuse for Arpaio pardon during Harvey

    “He truly is a sociopath,” ShareBlue’s Eric Boehlert wrote. “Viewed pending destruction of America’s fourth largest city thru prism of TV ratings.”

    Check out video of the president’s comments, along with Twitter’s incredulous reaction to it, below.

    In one way, I'd like to be able to keep an eye on this group. No telling what they're planning...

      I had to reread it to make sure I got it correct.

      White dude named Black is anti-black.

      You can't make this stuff up if you tried.

    Throwback

    Seth takes a moment to talk about the results of the 2016 presidential election and what a Donald Trump presidency could mean for the nation.

    If you live in Texas and need a laugh, think of how sick liberals made Levi look like a disgusting perv who obsesses over others sex lives. Or how his kid will hate him for the worst lies. (He's shown zero remorse btw)

  12. 22 years.

    *NOW* it's being shut down?

    Like they haven't been spewing hate and promoting violence for the last 22 years? Where were the complaints? Where was the outrage? Where was the concern and responsibility of the domain company for the last 22 years?
