The whole Daily Stormer drama is a rather interesting side show to what's going on. Go Daddy, Google and Cloudflare have all kicked the site off their services, essentially banning it from the internet. The actions raise interesting questions about the ability of private companies to control the internet - topical given the FCC's current efforts to undermine net neutrality - and about the Streisand Effect having a negative consequence as the site's profile is now dramatically higher than it once was. It will pull in new readers and supporters whenever it finds a new home. Even Cloudflare's CEO is concerned about his own decision to punt the site.
