TORONTO/SAN FRANCISCO: The neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer had its Internet domain registration revoked twice in less than 24 hours in the wake of the weekend violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, part of a broad move by the tech industry in recent months to take a stronger hand in policing online hate-speech and incitements to violence. 

GoDaddy Inc, which manages internet names and registrations, disclosed late on Aug 13 via Twitter that it had given Daily Stormer 24 hours to move its domain to another provider, saying it had violated GoDaddy's terms of service.
