After a purported hack and a 24-hour deadline to relocate its Web domain, the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website that promoted the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va., moved its site to Google before its registration there was also refused.

"We are cancelling Daily Stormer's registration with Google Domains for violating our terms of service," a Google spokesperson told NPR on Monday.

1. I'm glad that some good has come out of the nazi Trump rally.

[Hekate]

2. Make them social pariahs

3. They can always buy and operate their own webserver

I say that to preempt their inevitable howls of protest that their free speech rights are being violated.

4. Free speech arguments are only good when the government tries to curtail free speech

So good, let them pay for their own server. It'll make them use some of their own finances to get it running and keep it running. Let them deal with the inevitable cost of hacks against them.

16. Conservatives cannot understand the Constitution.

It always amuses me that they think the first amendment gives them the right to free speech when it actually prevents the gov from inhibiting their free speech.

6. Who here has argued that "free speech" means anything other than that the govt cannot punish it?

9. "their" NT.

11. Oh.

13. Apology accepted, Captain Needa!

8. These are not web hosting companies and don't host the content

These are the domain registrars.

I am sure they will find somewhere, but it's good to see some high profile rebukes in the mean time

17. they can all go onto an .onion domain for all I care.

Along with all the other kiddy porn and darkweb sites.

[Trekologer]

10. They still need to register the domain somewhere

The domain registration is what turns a domain name, like democraticunderground.com, to an IP address.

5. Good. Maybe Step 2 should be banning links to it on DU. J/S.

[Weekend Warrior]

7. How much personal info can one gather from hosting a site?

Maybe a "concerned" citizen should offer to host it for free for a year or two. Then dump all of their personal information online.

12. If it was called the Daily Jihad, they would be sitting in Gitmo right now.

And yet they deny white privilege exists.

14. Looks like its lost its name and license. Wow. Glad to see a strong penalty for hate.nt
