Numerous neo-Nazi websites have been shut down in the wake of violence triggered by white supremacist demonstrations in Charlottesville after a campaign that targeted their online hosting companies.
Tech consultant David Finster led the way in lobbying to pull the plug with a string of tweets to server companies, including WordPress, which provided the platform for the radical voices.

But he kept his foot on the pedal and is still targeting other online domain companies that continue to serve extremist groups – including one website that calls to “destroy Jewish tyranny”.
It comes amid a separate online campaign that has outed white nationalists who gathered in Charlottesville, triggering clashes that saw a woman killed after a car was driven into a crowd of anti-fascist protesters.
Mr Finster lobbied the server company in the wake of the right-wing march in Charlottesville after pointing out that they were being used as a platform for hate speech.
One message he shared said: “Hey, I thought I would let you know that NAZI'S are being hosted by you. BloodAndSoil.org needs to be shut down.”
Mr Finster later tweeted: “It's down.” Users who try to enter the website find a message from Wordpress that reads the site is “no longer available. This blog has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service.”
Twitter users congratulated Mr Finster after WordPress appeared to respond to his lobbying.
Campaign group Sleeping Giants, which targets “racist and sexist” media, tweeted: “Just wanted to say that @david_finster is really showing us something today. Well done.”
Owners of the right-wing website later moved their online publication to Google –but the internet giant also pulled the plug on the neo Nazi platform for “violating the terms of our service”.
