Daily Record: Wordpress come under fire for continuing to host banned neo-Nazi group Scottish Dawn
The world's most popular blogging platform has come under fire for continuing to host banned neo-Nazi group Scottish Dawn.Despite being put on a list of forbidden organisations, after being revealed as an alias of the far-right National Action, Scottish Dawn continue to have an online presence on Wordpress. David Ibsen, executive director of CEP, said: "The fact that WordPress continues to provide technical support to ScottishDawn.com even after the neo-Nazi group's website was notified by CEP is deeply troubling. "At the very least, it is evident that WordPress does not have in place an adequate system for quickly and transparently addressing flagged content, let alone spotting and blocking extremist and terrorist websites unprompted."
