What Is The Daily Stormer? The Neo-Nazi Website Published A Disgusting Article About Heather Heyer

What Is The Daily Stormer? The Neo-Nazi Website Published A Disgusting Article About Heather Heyer


ByNATASHA GUZMÁN14 min ago

The domain name provider and web hosting company GoDaddy booted the white supremacist website The Daily Stormer off its platform on Sunday. The decision came after The Daily Stormer published an article mocking Heather Heyer, the woman who was killed on Saturday after a white nationalist ran over a crowd counter-protesters during a pro-nazi, pro-Confederate rally in Charlottesville. The article in question derided Heyer for her weight and for not having had children by the age of 32.

Multiple Twitter users sent screencaps of the story to GoDaddy on Sunday. The company's official account eventually responded to several users informing them that The Daily Stormer had been notified that it needed to find a new host.

"We informed The Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service," GoDaddy wrote.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, The Daily Stormer is the most popular hate site in America. Comments from its users have garnered public attention after President Trump's failure to specifically denounce white nationalist and white supremacist groups in his statement following the chaos in Charlottesville.
