Brian Patrick Byrne wrote an article on The Daily Beast that takes a shot at GoDaddy and their providing registration and privacy services to white nationalist sites.

In an article that has to be uncomfortable for the Arizona based company. Byrne points to specific registrants and some of their actions.

It’s like we discussed last week with GoDaddy taking RapeKids.com down from auction. There are so many controversial names that registrars and aftermarket sites walk the line between censorship and offensive to many.

In another part there is discussion about the news of the day on Wednesday that surrounded CNN.

Ben Butler, GoDaddy’s director of network abuse, told The Daily Beast that this latest Daily Stormer article did not breach Domains By Proxy’s terms. “We do not see a reason to take any action under our terms of service as [the article] does not promote or encourage violence against people.
