Now that Cloudflare has taken action against 8chan, calls for action have shifted to its other service providers.

UPDATE: Looks like @voxility just cut off all of Bitmitigate's prefix at their edge routers, shutting down not only their customers but Epik's corporate systems.

A Seattle-area web-hosting firm has reversed course and decided not to host 8chan, the online forum linked to Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso. The decision comes a day after Epik was outed for hosting 8chan for a few hours Monday. (Via @Pauledroberts) https://t.co/fwsajbNl3H
— The Seattle Times (@seattletimes) August 7, 2019
Getting Cloudflare to ditch 8chan drove them to competitor Bitmitigate. But getting Voxility to ditch Bitmitigate affected not just 8chan, but collaborators Gab, Epik etc. And sets a precedent for further infrastructure divestment. https://t.co/BYiGAesy3f

Cloudflare fired 8chan, 8chan moved to a new service (BitMitigate) which has also been hosting Daily Stormer. BitMitigate's provider promptly cut *them* off, and now both 8chan *and* Daily Stormer are down.

The fact that the online stores' policies are only enforced for a short time after each round of press attention is an important part of this story. Google and Amazon have learned to ride the wave of post-shooting anger as efficiently as the NRA

Glad to see this piece, but I wish @GregBensinger had mentioned that Google has repeatedly been called out for violating its own policies on selling gun parts. This is a pattern of behavior. They were selling bump stocks in Feburary 2018, for example. https://t.co/6018S010Dd

Ermmmm, how insufficient are these algorithms if all you have to do to find offending items is search?
Amazon "was offering ammunition clips such as the Butler Creek 25-round magazine, an attachment for rifles used to store multiple bullets. Amazon says it ships the $45.99 item to customers itself, suggesting it stores it in one of its warehouses." https://t.co/sl6fKHSd8Z

Despite its aggressive-sounding policy on assault weapons, you can find all kinds of stuff on eBay to make your AR-15 or AK-47 deadlier than it already is. https://t.co/PjKoDBqdio
— Jeff Bercovici (@jeffbercovici) August 7, 2019
With 25 million sellers, preventing buyers and sellers from finding ways around its rules is a Sisyphean task for eBay. The only way for eBay to crack down on trade in assault rifle parts might be to get out of selling gun-related products altogether. https://t.co/AsZZkbVBJT
— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) August 7, 2019
AR-15 charging handles, collapsible stocks that make rifles easier to conceal, barrel-mounted grips and more. Those are just a few of the items that appear to be prohibited by eBay’s assault rifle policy, but are not. https://t.co/AsZZkbVBJT pic.twitter.com/NKnT9gwtkg
