DAILY STORMER HITS ICEBERG IN ICELAND
After being kicked off registers and setting up new domain names in unlikely parts of the World in a weird game of internet whack-a-mole, the Daily Stormer seemed finally to have found a stable home among the freedom-loving people of Iceland with the URL dailystormer.is. But now the Neo-Nazi-themed "performance art" troll site is homeless once again after falling foul of a technicality.
According to the Washington Times:
"The notorious white supremacist site could no longer be reached Friday afternoon at its most recent web address, dailystormer.is, hours after the ReykjavÃk Grapevine reported that ISNIC, the registry company that oversees dot-is domains, intended to give it the boot.
Jens Pétur Jensen, the firm’s CEO, told The Grapevine that ISNIC planned to punt The Stormer unless its publisher, Andrew Anglin, provided the registrar with proof of identity and his address.
'Our terms of service are very clear,' Mr. Jensen said. 'All registrants must provide proof of who they are, and where they are physically located. [Mr. Anglin] doesn’t want to do that.' The website’s publisher didn’t want to provide information because he correctly assumed it would given to law enforcement, Mr. Jensen said, according to told the newspaper."
The problem here is that Anglin is facing a civil action lawsuit, and any information on his whereabouts could be used to serve legal papers on him.
It is also noticeable that although Anglin reportedly raised over $150,000 to fight the case being brought against him by Tanya Gersh for "online harassment," he has wisely chosen to employ that money supporting his fugitive lifestyle rather than paying it to lawyers.
The Stormer can still be found on the Dark web and has temporarily resurfaced at dailystormer.cat for the time being.

Not correct. As Anglin and Weev have repeatedly pointed out, there are numerous alternative means by which the SPLC could serve him. They don't want to, because there's a good chance that the Jews will lose.
That sounds like crap to me. The fact that they refused to keep their .is url because it involved giving an address proves Anglin is playing silly buggers and hiding.
Maybe they wanted him to actually show up physically in Iceland so they could arrest him for hate speech.
Hate speech in Iceland is insulting a whale, so he might have been in danger because of Heather Heyer.
