The nonprofit group Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law requested the site be taken down, pointing to a clause in Network Solutions' policies that disallows sites on their domains "to display bigotry, discrimination or hatred." The group's executive director, Kristen Clarke, told the Sentinel, "Following our efforts, Network Solutions has pulled the site. And while bringing down one site won't terminate their efforts, it will make it a little more difficult for white supremacists to sow hatred." 
 
 Recently, the white supremacist site Daily Stormer lost its GoDaddy web domain and then subsequently lost hosting support and website security from Google, Cloudflare and DigitalOcean. In past weeks, we've also seen Spotify, Google and Deezer take down racist music, Facebook and Reddit ban hate groups, Squarespace shut down bigoted and hateful websites and OkCupid ban a white supremacist from its platform for life. 
 
 Some groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation have come out against these moves as violations of the principles of free speech, but really, the less Nazi content around, the better. ||||| Members of the Ku Klux Klan faced counterprotesters while rallying in support of Confederate monuments in Charlottesville, Virginia, in July.

 The white supremacist website Stormfront.org is struggling to get back online. 
 
 Its founder, former Ku Klux Klan chief Don Black, has complained that the website is down after the domain registrar Network Solutions yanked the domain and that he's also unable to transfer the domain to another provider. 
 
 The website has been offline since Friday. 
 
 Via his radio show on Monday, Black said Network Solutions had "taken it upon themselves to censor anybody they want." He added: "Late Friday, without any notice, they didn't even send me an email — they decided that Stormfront was politically incorrect and therefore they could close it down. 
 
 "Not only did they close the domain name — I can't even transfer it. I can't even try to transfer it to another registrar because they can do whatever they want." 
 
 Black added that he was trying to get his lawyers to "go after these idiots." And while he has numerous other domains registered with other providers, he specifically wants to bring Stormfront.org back online. 
 
 The Knoxville News Sentinel first reported on Friday that Network Solutions had suspended the Stormfront.org domain. 
 
 Network Solutions hasn't commented on its actions, and its parent firm Web.com has not responded to a request for comment. 
 
 The domain suspension may be linked to pressure from the civil-rights group Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which wrote to Web.com earlier this month to accuse Stormfront of violating the company's "acceptable user policy" — specifically because of the site's "racist" content and "bigotry." Black attributed Stormfront's shutdown to the group. 
 
 A domain search on Stormfront.org shows that the domain is "on hold," a status normally assigned to sites that are involved in legal disputes or nonpayment or that are about to be deleted. 
 
 Stormfront is a forum-style site first registered online, according to Black, in January 1995. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Stormfront was the first major white supremacist website, and its members have been disproportionately responsible for mass killings. Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people, posted on the site. 
 
 Stormfront's suspension follows a wider US crackdown on hate websites. Multiple domain hosts pulled support for another neo-Nazi site, The Daily Stormer, while payment and fundraising firms including Apple and GoFundMe have refused to support white supremacist websites. ||||| Stormfront, the oldest neo-Nazi forum on the web, has been shut down by its name provider, Network Solutions, and the domain officially put on hold. The news followed the shutdown of DailyStormer, another supremacist site. 
 
 Stormfront began in 1990s as a dial-up BBS and then morphed into a website and forum in about 1995. It has been registered at Network Solutions since 1995. 
 
 The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Executive Director Kristen Clarke said that her organization took “action against Stormfront.” 
 
 “Their website is a vehicle used to promote racially-motivated violence and hate,” she wrote. The group told Network Solutions that Stormfront was violating their terms of service. 
 
 Stormfront was unique in that it was considered the “murder capital of the Internet” by the Southern Poverty Law Center and, as of 2014, over 100 murders were attributed to Stormfront users. The SPL wrote that the site was popular with “wound collectors.” 
 
 “A typical murderer drawn to the racist forum Stormfront.org is a frustrated, unemployed, white adult male living with his mother or an estranged spouse or girlfriend,” wrote the SPL in 2014. “She is the sole provider in the household. Forensic psychologists call him a ‘wound collector.’ Instead of building his resume, seeking employment or further education, he projects his grievances on society and searches the Internet for an excuse or an explanation unrelated to his behavior or the choices he has made in life.” 
 
 The group also has a Cloudflare account according to the DNS records. Cloudflare’s CEO has spoken out against hate groups and was instrumental in beginning the attack against DailyStormer. It’s unclear where or when StormFront will return but as of this writing the website is completely inaccessible.
– Following in the footsteps of fellow white supremacist site DailyStormer, Stormfront has been shut down by its domain provider, TechCrunch reports. Stormfront, the oldest neo-Nazi site on the internet, has been registered at Network Solutions since 1995. But Network Solutions took the site offline after the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights Under Law argued Stormfront was violating its terms of service by promoting "racially motivated violence and hate," the group's executive director says. According to Engadget, Network Solutions has a policy that prohibits sites that "display bigotry, discrimination, or hatred." Stormfront has been offline since Friday, Business Insider reports. Former Ku Klux Klan chief and Stormfront founder Don Black says he can't access the site or transfer the domain to another provider. That means any future version of Stormfront will likely have to restart from the ground up. Black claims Network Solutions has "taken it upon themselves to censor anybody they want." He says his site was shut down for being "politically incorrect" and he's instructed his lawyers to "go after these idiots." Network Solutions hasn't commented. The Southern Poverty Law Center has referred to Stormfront as the "murder capital of the Internet." Through 2014, more than 100 murders had been attributed to Stormfront users, and the site had an unusually high number of mass murderers posting on it. For example, Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway, was active on the site.
