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.
