Fact check: Antifa.com redirects to Joe Biden's website, but Biden campaign not involved
A search through the digital internet archive Wayback Machine reveals the antifa.com domain has existed since 1999, although no content appears until Dec. 4, 2000. It is unclear who registered the domain, but the content appears to be a predominantly European anti-fascist
newsletter available in English and Dutch.
The domain lapsed. It was renewed April 24, 2002, according to domain registration databases
Whois.net and the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers Lookup. It was never made into an active website.
On Nov. 21, 2008, the domain was
offered for $14,410 and remained on sale until May 6, 2017, at which point, a
blank page replaced the sale offer. The blank page persisted until another "domain for sale" notice appeared
Aug. 10, 2019.
Traffic
redirecting to JoeBiden.com began around Aug. 8 before stopping Aug. 13.
On Aug. 16, the domain resumed but forwarded instead to
a website called "It's Going Down."
On Aug. 21, traffic
redirected to KamalaHarris.org, which was being forwarded to JoeBiden.com. On Aug. 22, it
went back to "It's Going Down"; and on Aug. 28, it
returned to KamalaHarris.org before
settling on JoeBiden.com on Aug. 31.
