   I have a feeling that you are inventing reasoning that would be, in
   itself, illogical and quite stilted.  Sure, deluded people exist, but
   organizations who are in control of such things have a responsibility
   to not abuse their authority.

   cleansing and to violate the human rights of groups of people is a
   crime. Creating the theoretical framework for genocide is also a crime
   as was evidenced by the conviction of Julius Streicher who authored
   Daily Stormer's predescessor Der Sturmer.

   Sorry, but you are not even hundreds of miles away from being correct
   on this.  To label DNS service, which is essentially monopoly, as
   supporting "genocide" is about 3-4 leaps of logic, far too much to
   work.
   A few nuts spouting nonsense is far, very far, from "conspiracy to
   commit genocide".  Merely providing necessary net services to them,
   just as is done for thousands of sites, cannot possibly be described
   that way.   Maybe you just have no respect for the concept of "Free
   Speech".
