Via Southern Poverty Law Center:
FEBRUARY 23, 2018
Earlier this week, we released a report that explores how the tech industry took action against alt-right extremists in response to Charlottesville.
A number of prominent tech companies rushed to enforce longstanding “acceptable use” policies. As we wrote, it took “blood in the streets for tech companies to take action.”
Unfortunately, more than six months later, we’ve found that some tech companies are still providing services to hate groups. From payment-processing to domain-hosting to data-mining, some of the biggest companies keep hate group websites up and running.
Here are some of our findings:
PayPal continues to serve as a payment platform for the most hate groups. This is based on our analysis of websites, though hate groups that don’t have websites may also be using PayPal or other payment processors for offline fundraising.
GoDaddy hosts the most hate group websites, including those of ACT for America, Center for Security Policy, and League of the South.
Google, Facebook and Twitter continue to provide ad tech services — or data services such as advertising, tracking, loading or collecting — to many hate groups.
Twenty-three hate group websites are protected by CloudFlare.
Read the full report to view the chart and learn about the report’s methodology, and please share this resource with your network on Facebook and Twitter.
Sincerely,
