TORONTO (Reuters) - Neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer, which helped organize a gathering in Virginia on Saturday that turned violent, moved to the so-called Dark Web on Tuesday because its registration to use the open internet was revoked.

GoDaddy Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google canceled Daily Stormer's Internet registration on Monday, saying the group had violated terms of service, which prohibit clients from using their sites to incite violence.

Andrew Anglin, the founder of Daily Stormer, did not respond to requests for comment.

Supporters of Daily Stormer took to Twitter on Tuesday to tell people they could gain access to the website on the Dark Web, a portion of the Internet that is not indexed by popular search engines. It can only be seen with a special browser, which hides the identity and location of the users.

1. I don't normally call for cybercrime...

But if there's a virus that bricks the computer of anyone accessing the site so badly they have to buy a new machine, someone needs to plant that virus on Daily Stormer's server.

28. There is an Anonymous video just out. It goes beyond threatening cyber attacks.

Mentions how the neoNazis must pay with blood, iirc.

That's worrisome. I was just kinda hoping they'd the white weasel's site. Then again, Anonymous put out that video warning the Russians against interfering in our elections. Not sure they did much good against that threat. Still, you never know.

2. Back under a rock with the rest of the scum. nt

[wryter2000]

3. They'll be able to attract fewer followers this way

A small victory.

[Adrahil]

4. Good. Force those fuckers back under the rocks witht eh other vermin. NT

[Dave Starsky]

7. They're already there anyway.

It provides convenient, one-stop shopping for them for all of their torture porn, human trafficking, and meth.

5. Really? I've never heard of the "dark web." Special browser? Different search engines?

Hides identities? Well, I'll be.

Well, that's where I'D go, if I were trying to start a revolution and take over the country. But far fewer people will hear of them or be able to join because of their "dark" location. Guess it'll be by word of mouth.

11. Tor

https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

dark web = .onion addresses only accessible with Tor

If you read that web page thoroughly, you'll learn a ton. Probably more than you ever want to know.

[Honeycombe8]

30. Thx. nt

6. Isn't the Dark Web where the terrorist and pedophiles hang out? 🤔

Yes, I believe it is! What a perfect landing spot for them.

[steve2470]

12. yes nt

[Warpy]

16. Yes, but the NSA finally cracked Tor

a couple of years ago and got a lot of pedophiles put into the pokey.

Other people who use Tor have been government, itself, when it wants to cover its tracks, plus protesters in countries with rigid web control.

[steve2470]

19. true, I think the Tor project is trying to mend that

I rarely use it and only for giggles, so I don't know the latest.

[MrScorpio]

8. They're right down there with the pedos and crank dealers.

Where they belong.

[Mosby]

10. I'm surprised they couldn't find a host in Russia or Ukraine.

The hacker collectives down in the dark web are not going to like them.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. Now wouldn't it be nice if the DOJ were interested in the Dark Web's users?

[IronLionZion]

23. Obama's FBI found and arrested tons of child predators and criminals

they shut down a large black market smuggling ring operating there and lots of terrorists too.

With Trump's FBI, who knows.

[Sunlei]

13. so what. online 'hate groups are like a massive cancer tumor-Doctor snips away a tiny biopsy.

[Gothmog]

14. This hate website belongs on the dark web

[tenderfoot]

15. The Dark Web. Where the pedophiles meet.

eom

17. Can someone explain to me, a non-techie, what exactly the dark web is.

I mean, I know it's something "dark" and underground.

But what is it technically, in non-technical terms of course, please. Is it a direct connection to the web without using a host??????

[steve2470]

18. all it is, is websites that end in " .onion "

To see those, you have to use Tor

https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en

So it's easy to see if you use Tor, but the problem is, the NSA and FBI and other agencies monitor Tor. The assumption is, if you're using Tor, you're up to no good (which is true in some cases). Some people use it in repressive countries to be able to communicate, and if you're just plain paranoid, you use it. It's VERY slow but, pretty anonymous.

[hamsterjill]

24. Thank you.

n/t

[VermontKevin]

26. I use it to access news articles for free.

[steve2470]

27. how do you do that ?

If you don't mind me asking. Never heard of this usage, thanks!

[VermontKevin]

29. You go through tor, WaPo can't limit your "free articles"

when you refresh. I just look things up when I need to.

[IronLionZion]

22. Someplace where normal people will never find or even know about

because you can't get there through Google or other search engines. It's used by people who want to be secretive and anonymous: criminals, terrorists, child predators, etc.

Here is some light reading for you:

25. Sheesh.

Frightening!

Thanks for the better understanding.

[dbackjon]

20. In good company with pedophiles, sex slavers, etc

[Initech]

21. Good! Go back to the sewer where you belong!
