From Slashdot:
neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer has moved their site to the dark web. "The new site is now only available through the Tor network, which allows users to set up their own domains," reports VICE News. "The original site, Dailystormer.com, is now fully offline."
From the report:
The homepage, as of Tuesday morning, contained articles that make light of the car ramming attack that claimed the life of 32-year-old Heather Heyer; admonish the "Jew media;" liberally employ various racial epithets ... the site's founder promised to bring his site back online. "The Daily Stormer will be live in internet prison with drug dealers, terrorists and perverts, which is where we've been exiled to, for all time," Andrew Anglin said in a statement sent to VICE News. "We should have a real domain online within 24 hours. If it gets shut down again, people will know we are on the black web."

From ThinkProgress:
Stormfronts founder, former Klu Klux Klan leader Don Black, told the Orlando Sentinel that he was talking to his lawyers, which was about all he could do.
I can switch to another domain, he added, but it might wind up the same way.
The SPLC has tied Blacks website to dozens of murders from 2009 to 2014. Perhaps the most notorious of these is Anders Behring Brevik, who killed 77 people in a terrorist attack in Norway in 2011. Most of his victims were teenagers at a summer camp on Utoya Island. He had been posting on Stormfront since 2008 under the username year2183.

(111,170 posts)1. since they're not all sitting in jail awaiting trial over it
their free speech rights have not been violated. Private entities are not legally bound to amplify that speech via on or offline publication, nor is anyone compelled to listen to their rubbish.
I'm glad they're back to 4chan and the dark web. It's where they belong.
