The tech fall out on these latest shootings are rather fascinating. Cloudflare dropped 8chan after the El Paso shooting. They went to another provider that is used by other white supremacist websites. However, once people figured out that BitMitigate/Epik was leasing its infrastructure from another company, that third company fired BitMitigate/Epik. Which, in turn, punted 8chan off the easily accessible internet. And with it went The Daily Stormer and perhaps even Gab.
They will all end up easily available with someone at some point - if they aren't already - but even if the American government won't do anything about these issues, private companies are becoming more willing to deplatform bad actors.
