Poor Daily Stormer.
Google canceled the registration of a Nazi website soon after it moved its domain registration to the service, a Google spokesperson told CNBC.
"We are cancelling Daily Stormer's registration with Google Domains for violating our terms of service," the company representative said in a statement.

There is nothing funny about that.
If Go Daddy has shut down a site, that's its business decision, and good for it. But the larger question is whether Storm Front and other hate sites should be allowed to exist.
I say, "First Amendment."
The First Amendment only protects you from government censorship, if Go Daddy takes down this site, its not a violation of the First Amendment.
Is there some reason you think I need you to explain this to me? :roll:
K...what's this in reference to?
I am just curious why you brought up the first amendment in regards to this situation, if it doesn't technically apply. I am not trying to offend you.
It applies to the last part of her statement about being "allowed to exist". Not directly related to the OP but certainly tangentially.
But still if the First Amendment only applies to government censorship, I just don't see how it applies to this particular situation, Go Daddy is not a government organization.
A black player protested by kneeing during the pledge of allegence. A lot of the same people who found that offensive are yelling about freedom of speech for Neo-Nazi's marching with torches and surrounding a black church (the First Baptist Church)
Yes they are, and I'm free to highlight their partisan hackery.

In order to operate their own server, they'll need a lot more than brain cells. They'll need a lot of money. They'll also need an ISP willing to allow them to keep a web server, which most ISPs are not likely to do, unless you have some kind of a business account.Looks like they will have to operate their own server, assuming they can gather enough brain cells together to figure out how.
How is it "partisan hackery" to block a hate group? That's not a political stance, that's a human decency stance...folks on both the left and the right denounce it as the utter garbage that it is, and enough people are getting pissed off about it that companies are starting to recognize, in this day and age of boycotts from both the Left and the Right, that supporting such sewage is going to cost them. Basic decency and profit is what this is about.
It's partisan hackery to not block all hate groups. Have they blocked AntiFirstAmendment? BLM? Media Matters? CAIR? No, of course they haven't.
Ya, don't care, **** white supremacists and anyone that supports them for any reason.
But you are correct, while partisan in this forum generally tends to refer to Left or Right bias, technically it can extend to causes as well. So, bravo to GoDaddy for the partisanship against hate groups. I hope they never stop, especially since, as a business, they can neither impede, nor are obliged to support, anyone's first amendment rights.
Yeah, you just don't get it. But I suspect willful ignorance. Go Daddy isn't against hate groups, they are singling out a hate group because it's politically expedient. While continuing to support hate groups they evidently agree with. Hence, they are actually practicing hate. It's no surprise though, it's simply the liberal way. :shrug:

And once you sign up for a business account, you are restricted to Terms of Service....so you can see how well that may work out in America.
Would there be anything more ironic than "white nationalists" contracting with darker skinned foreigners in order to propagate their white message?Excellent points. I'd say they may have to resort to the Dark Web but there are probably some countries out there where the service providers let things slide a bit more.
