GoDaddy, a company that registers Internet domains, severed its relationship with white nationalist Richard Spencer and his website, Altright.com, on Thursday. GoDaddy’s move to shut down Spencer’s site comes after the Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating discrimination, filed a complaint. The organization’s president, Kristen Clarke, announced the news on Twitter, posting the complaint made to GoDaddy CEO Scott Wagner. “Altright.com is in clear violation of GoDaddy’s terms of service as it includes content actively inciting violence, particularly against racial and ethnic minorities,” the complaint stated. The complaint filed by the Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights Under Law offered examples of Altright.com’s violent rhetoric, in articles and user comments.
