GoDaddy, Google to Pull Plug on Daily Stormer Site After Article Mocks Charlottesville Victim



"Domain hosting company GoDaddy said Monday that neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer has 24 hours to find a new provider before its service is canceled following the publication of a disparaging article about the woman killed in the Charlottesville protests.

"Shortly after the announcement, the Daily Stormer — the top hate site in America, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center — moved its domain to Google.

"But in a matter of hours, Google announced it, too, would not be hosting the website. "
