Wow Just Wow. ICANN’t Even.

I have been kicked off of I think 7 registrars now.

This is now ICANN’s problem.

If ICANN hasn’t given authorization to a company that will host my site, then ICANN itself is banning me from the internet.

We need to call for ICANN to be regulated by the US government in order to protect First Amendment free speech.

This “OH NO BUT IT’S A PRIVATE COMPANY THAT BANNED YOU SO IT’S NOT A FIRST AMENDMENT ISSUE” is absolute bullshit if every private company that exists is refusing to register a domain for the Daily Stormer.

Everyone who believes in freedom of speech needs to call on the US government to regulate ICANN. This no longer has to do with me and my edgy humor. This is a threat to all political speech that “private companies” decide is inappropriate.

The details of how this silencing is taking place are just details. I have been deprived of my First Amendment rights.

ICANN now has a responsibility to provide me with a way to get online.

For those unaware, the power of ICANN was just given up by the US Department of Commerce on October 1, 2016.

They are going to do this to more people. I am just the first.

And the people who traditionally defend freedom of speech are not coming to my aid.

Alex Jones, Stefan Molyneux, etc. are not discussing this issue. The only person who did was Tucker Carlson.

This poem:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Was not real when it was written, because the Holocaust did not actually happen.

But it is real now.

And they will come for all of you after they’ve gotten away with taking me offline.

This is a monster that is always hungry.

And it isn’t going to stop.

All of you supposed “free speech advocates” need to ask yourselves what is going to happen when they shut you down.

Molyneux, you are dependent on YouTube. They could shut that down any minute now. Then you fall back on your own website. And then ICANN takes that away. Then like me, you are an unperson.

Alex – they’ll take the rest of the Alt-Right first, but how long do you think it will be before Infowars.com is declared to edgy to be on the internet by your beloved “private companies” who are not subject to government regulation?

Six months?

A year?

It isn’t going to be long.

You’d better stand up now – because when they come and take you away, there isn’t going to be anyone left to speak for you.

You people need to start calling for the US government to regulate ICANN, or start providing alternate means to get a website on the internet. And you need to start doing that quickly.
