I‘m going to try to do something that‘s generally not recommended on the internet: I‘m going to try to discuss a complicated issue that has many nuances and gray areas. That often fails, because all too often people online immediately leap to black or white positions, because it‘s easy to miss the nuance when arguing about an emotionally potent issue. In this case, I want to discuss an issue that‘s already received plenty of attention: how various platforms — starting with GoDaddy and Google, but with much of the attention placed on Cloudflare — decided to stop serving the neo-Nazi forum site the Daily Stormer. Now, I‘ll note that as all that went down, I was focused on a multi-day drive out to (and then back from) the middle of absolute nowhere (a beautiful place) to watch the solar eclipse thing that everyone was talking about — meaning that for the past week I‘ve been disconnected from the internet quite a bit, which meant that I (a) missed much of the quick takes on this and (b) had plenty of time to really think about it. And, the simple fact is that it is a complicated issue, no matter what anyone says. So let‘s dig in.
