These are the same companies that have sweetheart deals with the govt, bro. And this is the same govt. that tried to take control of the internet and has to a large degree. Sorry, but your bull about this being free market is not even close to true.
Free market won out. The Daily Stormer got found people willing to work with him.
You're the "cuck" for the system. If I own a web hosting service, it's MY RIGHT to whom I offer and deny services to. Championing government intervention in this case infringes upon that right.

Well done, bro. Post of the day material.
I know you think people are practicing selective outrage, but the truth is, mainstream America didn't know what the the "alt-right" was before it rode into the national consciousness on the back of Trump. Beforehand, the movement and its figureheads (Spencer, Anglin, et al) still very much existed on the fringe with little-to-no spotlight. The reason it's a "problem" now is because the movement gained an immense amount of momentum over the last year through Trump and Bannon.
The WWW can never become a public utility much the same way that restaurants can't become public utilities. As I've said, we often confuse the WWW and the Internet. The Internet is simply the electronic infrastructure computers use to communicate with each other. That can perhaps become a public utility (like water), while web hosting services will remain privately owned. Think of it like: Internet (water), Web hosting service (restaurant), web pages (diners).
I'll counter with: I don't want a bunch of Jews telling me that I have to patronize the opinions of assholes. And yes, Anglin's site should've been nuked a long time ago. He incited violence against that Jewish woman whom he accused of extorting Richard Spencer's mom.

No ISP has denied service to Anglin. He can still access the "dark web" via the internet.
You still don't get it. A few web hosting services refused to do business with him. He can (and has) found another.
It's not a matter of knowing. It's a matter of caring. Lapdog media is the mouthpiece of the elites, not a true news service.
There's a million alternatives to "lapdog media" out there. Free market at work, again.
So you'd prefer the Internet to be in the hands of the biggest elitist organization there is (the government)?
You already see how the FCC restricts speech ("Omg, he cussed on his radio how! 50K fine!). Great idea to cede control of the net to that ins ution
Again, Anglin found another outlet for his "speech." Took all of a couple days.
MC said it best; the gov has aided with the growth and subsistence of a monopolistic infrastructure. That there are piddly "alternatives" is far from the point.
The only way any company should be "forced" to serve anyone is
A: the party in question has paid for the service
B: the business uses federal tax dollars
C: Court ruling (probably based on one of the two above caveats)
Otherwise, you should be able to serve who you want, and not serve who you don't. If your business model is poor, you'll go broke. Good for you, you deserved it.
btw, contrary to ST belief, putting "muh" before something in no way negates or diminishes its importance. It just shows your following argument is likely pretty ing weak.
So then why hand the whole thing over to that same government to become a public utility?
And again, it can't become a public utility, unless you're okay with a single web hosting service for all, which translates into the government having full control over the dissemination of information.
"Piddly alternatives."
You can find any number of crackpot websites offering their opinions on everything from how Lizard people control the world to aliens were responsible for 9/11. Looks like you have trouble using google or something![]()
Oh, looks like Anglin if off-line again, but the thing is, you can still visit his website in the "dark web."
Look at it like this. Anglin is shopping around his version of the Turner Diaries to various publishers. No one wants to publish his garbage, so he's resorted to self-publishing in a sense and distributing underground (the dark web).
Are you denying the high degree of integration of these web services? You're basically telling people to not use cars on highways when they can walk through alleys and ditches instead.
The liberal press says the guys running Silicon Valley are mostly edgy libertarian tech bros. Must be a disinfo op.
Per a report in Business Insider, as of Thursday, Facebook had two contract positions for “news credibility specialists” open on its job site. The jobs are based out of Menlo Park, California, where the site is headquartered, and one of them lists fluent Spanish as a requirement:https://gizmodo.com/facebook-is-now-...ial-1826654472“We’re seeking individuals with a passion for journalism, who believe in Facebook’s mission of making the world more connected,” one of the two listings reads. It continues: “As a member of the team, you’ll be tasked with developing a deep expertise in Facebook’s News Credibility Program. You’ll be conducting investigations against predefined policies.”
Facebook would ask the specialists to help create a list of credible news organizations. That list could be used for various features on the site, from the newsfeed to its advertising system.
"the world more connected .." above all to Facebook
