The founder of the internet’s oldest white supremacist site said he was trying to get back online Monday after a company revoked its domain name following complaints that it promotes hatred and is linked to dozens of murders.
Don Black, a former Ku Klux Klan leader who has operated stormfront.org since 1995, said he didn’t receive any warning before Network Solutions blocked the use of the stormfront.org name on Friday.
Stormfront.org had more than 300,000 registered users, Black said, with traffic increasing since a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Popular with the KKK and neo-Nazi groups, the site included forums where users sometimes promoted white power events.
Black, the founder of the site, thinks he can get the website up again under another domain, but fears that will just be shut down as well.
Other neo-Nazi or white supremacist websites have recently suffered a similar fate.
All things considered the events in Charlottesville have proven to be a real problem for certain hate groups.
According to the folks who filed the complaint users of Stormfront.org have been connected to over a hundred killings including the 77 people slain by neo-Nazi Anders Breivik at a camp in Norway in 2011.
Here's hoping that they NEVER get back online.
