So does this mean the Democratic presidential nominee has something to do with the organization? Did former Vice President Biden’s campaign purchase antifa.com? Did the Democratic Party set this up?
No. It doesn’t mean any of that. Here’s what we know so far about antifa.com and its ownership.
First of all, how do you explain antifa.com sending you to Joe Biden’s campaign website? Easy. The owner of a domain name can redirect their domain name to any webpage. The person who runs antifa.com could have just as easily set the redirect up to forward visitors to Donald Trump’s campaign site. It’s an easy process that just requires that you type in the URL you want your domain to redirect to in your registrar’s administration panel.
Could it still mean Joe Biden’s campaign runs the domain? It could. But it could also mean that the Trump campaign or someone supportive of it did the same just to cause a little controversy. It could also just be the work of a troll, a comedy group, or even someone just looking to add value to the domain when they look to sell it. The point is the redirect on its own doesn’t mean anything.
If you check the whois information, where the domain registrant’s public information is usually posted, you’ll find a service located in the country of Panama listed. Does this mean there’s some sort of foreign connection? Again, no.
