White supremacists gathered in Charlottesville to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue, carrying torches and chanting white supremacist and Nazi-era sentiments. Some of the white supremacists and neo-Nazis were seen carrying Confederate flags and Nazi flags.
The white supremacists clashed with counter-protesters, and one white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters, killing one and injuring more than a dozen others.
In the wake of the events, many citizens, politicians, and companies have come out against white supremacists and neo-Nazis, releasing anti-hate statements and even taking action against some of the racist individuals involved with this weekend's rally.
Website hosting service GoDaddy today warned The Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi site, that its domain would be canceled in 24 hours. The Daily Stormermoved its domain to Google's web hosting service, and then Google promptly canceled The Daily Stormer's domain.
Additionally, other people on the internet are attempting to identify white supremacists seen in photos from the Unite the Right rally and notifying their places of work and families about their participation in the rally.
Discord said in its statement that it "will continue to take action against white supremacy, nazi ideology, and all forms of hate."
