Stormfront: ’murder capital of internet’ pulled offline after civil rights action | Technology | The Guardian
One of the oldest and largest neo-nazi sites on the internet, the white supremacist chatroom Stormfront, has been thrown off the open web by its hosting provider.Stormfront has been described by the anti-hate group Southern Poverty Law Center as the murder capital of the internet. The group pointed out that registered Stormfront users have been disproportionately responsible for some of the most lethal hate crimes and mass killings since the site was put up in 1995. In the past five years alone, Stormfront members have murdered close to 100 people.As of Tuesday morning, Stormfront.org was unavailable, with the sites domain registry recording that its hosting provider Network Solutions had issued a hold on the address.
