stormfront website down

[irosie91]

? breaking news ------the stormfront website has been removed from cyberspace. For some 20
years it was the GO-TO site for Nazi philosophy-------but lately it made the fatal mistake of
expressing------not just "jooo-hate" -----but ALSO <gasp> ISLAMOPHOBIA

mourning?

 

[TNHarley]

Should Network Solutions LLC be forced to host Stormfront's website against their wishes? I think not.

 

[irosie91]

some were, im sure

not to worry-----there are lots of Nazi websites. Banning a website is actually kinda silly-----
of course ---SERVERS have rights too.

I've not verified this fully yet as it's been a crazy week, but the statement I heard is that it was actually the domain name registrar who pulled/took/stole their domain name. That used to be illegal under ICANN (when the internet was considered a utility basically.)

Apparently when we sold the internet last year, we also gave fascists the ability to control what we were allowed to see - all the conspiracy nuts were right in this case...

"we" "sold" the internet? To whom?

Well okay "sold" wasn't perhaps exactly the right term given my take on your implication there - basically we handed it over to international corporations to sell for profit kind of "sold"

That aside, I'm kind of surprised you didn't hear about it, there's been people flipping over it since 2015 (which got it delayed) and it actually happened in March 2017 - much to the panic of folks - and now it seems, that panic was reasonable. Such a damned shame. I wonder how long it'll be before the use of domain names is weaponized against "hostile" countries and shit...

You are probably correct irosie, the new Leftist Fascist Rule 101 is:

Thou shalt not criticise Islam, Thou shalt not insult the Paedophile Mohammed.

Best we could do is buy back the ones we could and re-regulate it as a utility. - Could maybe tie it into net neutrality. However, it'd cost us and I imagine a lot if the political hacks have gotten involved (highly likely given all the bullshit about how Russian "fake news" and "internet trolls" lost the election for the left.)

Excuse me while I pretend to give a fuck.

Interestingly, the 'new' black panthers site is still up and running, and on it proudly proclaims BLACK POWER. I don't really know much about stormfront, and now nobody can read their site and decide for themselves what their message is, you can only take the media's word for it.
