"8chan then quickly found a new protector that has counted several far-right users among its clients: Epik.com. But now, Voxility—an internet services company that worked with Epik—completely banned the new 8chan web host from its network, effectively making the controversial hate board go dark for the time being. Joshua Fisher-Birch of the Counter Extremism Project—a U.S. based terrorism watchdog, —told Motherboard it isn’t shocking that Epik had picked up 8chan as a client. 'It is unfortunately no surprise that Epik would step in to keep 8chan online,' he said. 'Epik has previously chosen to do business with sites that either promote violent ideologies, or amplify the voices of those who encourage extremism and terrorism. This time it’s different though.' Fisher-Birch was blunt: 'This is an incredibly dangerous choice to platform extremism.'”
