Against hate

LOS ANGELES: Neo-Nazi hate website The Daily Stormer has been cut off by its domain-name hosting provider after it posted a vile defamation of Heather Heyer, the woman murdered in Charlottesville, at a white-supremacist rally.

GoDaddy, the service provider that had hosted the domain name for The Daily Stormer since the site was launched four years ago, said in Twitter posts on Sunday night that the site violated the terms of service and that its service is being terminated.

“We informed The Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service,” GoDaddy said.

The website’s post about Heyer carried the headline “Heather Heyer: Woman Killed in Road Rage Incident was a Fat, Childless 32-Year-Old S**t.”

The Daily Stormer was one of the organisers of the “Unite the Right” white-nationalist assemblage in Charlottesville.

Heyer died after she was struck by a car authorities said was driven by white nationalist James Alex Fields Jr, who was arrested on Saturday and charged with second-degree murder and other criminal counts.

At least 19 other people who were protesting the white nationalist rally were injured by Fields’ vehicle after it plowed into the marchers, according to press reports.

The Daily Stormer, which calls itself “The World’s Most Genocidal Republican Website”, endorsed Donald Trump’s candidacy for president in 2015. — Reuters
