The Daily Stormer had their .com taken by Google and were kicked off every single US registrar, as well as the registrar of hundreds of countries, seemingly all at once. I think they're on a Pakistani registrar or something now. (Would Free Republic get a Pakistani Registrar to agree to host our website?) The Daily Stormer also lost all access to Pay Pal, and all other funding methods ,as well as advertisement, even weirdo foreign ones from Asian countries. Alex Jones I think just lost access to their commenting platform. Breitbart has been subjected to advertising boycotts and is constantly under threat of losing them entirely. GAB is being threatened with having their domain taken. The easy targets were the racist websites and now Alex Jones because of his conspiracy theories. They are now calling Alex Jones a Neo-Nazi for opinions that we express here on Free Republic, such as on trannies and Islam. That puts him in "losing domain" territory already. And us too. They're just trying to measure public opinion right now.
No internet property can be removed from the global registrar without a court order.
The registrar will accept nothing else.
It’s $150/year to register your domain name.
You have to work with the assigned numbers authority for an IP address, and they’re relatively cheap too if you need only a few.
But it’s quite likely you’ll have a hard time finding anyone to HOST the Daily Stormer.
Still, if they wanted to they could buy a commercial 10mbs commercial cable internet service and host it in their garage.
All broadband carriers will sell bandwidth to anyone.
Perhaps they broke an agreement that they signed? Why are they not fighting this in the courts then?
Alex Jones I think just lost access to their commenting platform.
Big deal. He has a website where he can make an option for his supporters to comment on chat or email. This will hurt the tech companies more than him.
Breitbart has been subjected to advertising boycotts and is constantly under threat of losing them entirely.
Yeah so? Then Breitbart should go subscription-based then. Breitbart shows in the morning and at night are among the top 10 shows in all of Sirius XM. The Patriot Channel is a huge moneymaker for Sirius XM.
GAB is being threatened with having their domain taken.
Then GAB needs to fight in the courts then.
