The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has criticized internet providers for blocking the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, saying it violates the principals of free speech and could backfire. “We strongly believe that what GoDaddy, Google and Cloudflare did here was dangerous,” it said in a blog post. “We would be making a mistake if we assumed that these sorts of censorship decisions would never turn against causes we love.”The Daily Stormer has long espoused racist, anti-feminist and antisemitic views, including Holocaust denial. GoDaddy only elected to drop its name registry recently, however, after it published an offensive article about Heather Heyer, who was killed during violent protests at Charlottesville. The site then shifted to Google’s hosting service, whoch also quickly banned it. Both companies said the site violated their terms of service by inciting violence.
