UPDATE 8:50 p.m. ET:Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince wrote up a lengthy blog post about his decision to cancel The Daily Stormer'ssubscription, and why the decision has potentially dangerous ramifications.
"The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormermade the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology," Prince wrote. "Our team has been thorough and have had thoughtful discussions for years about what the right policy was on censoring. Like a lot of people, we’ve felt angry at these hateful people for a long time but we have followed the law and remained content neutral as a network. We could not remain neutral after these claims of secret support by Cloudflare."
UPDATE 2:05 p.m. ET: dailystormer.ru appears to be down, and Cloudflare no longer carries the account for which The Daily Stormerpaid.

OK, here's the original story:
Should have seen this one coming, I guess.
The United States's most prominent neo-Nazi website has found a new home in Russia.
SEE ALSO:Donald Trump’s teleprompter is back from vacation to denounce racismThe Daily Stormer-- named after Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer-- has spilled over into mainstream media discussion over the past several months as American white nationalist, racist, and neo-Nazi movements have grown under President Donald Trump, who refuses to renounce them except when under great pressure.
Those groups held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia this past weekend, where a woman named Heather Heyer died after a 20-year-old Nazi smashed into her with his car, injuring 19 others.
The Daily Stormerhas long published rancidly racist articles, and until recently described itself as "The World’s Most Genocidal Republican Website."
But site-runner Andrew Anglin ran into trouble after the violence in Charlottesville, as the wave of attention caused GoDaddy to stop hosting the site. Anglin tried to find a home anywhere that wasn't on the dark web, but companies continually turned him down until, on Wednesday, The Daily Stormerreturned with a .ru address, a Russian domain name, though who exactly is providing the hosting services is unclear.
The new banner photo at the top of the site is a photo of Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. They seem to be having a good time.
