Tell Bitmitigate to drop 8chan as a client
8chan, the most dangerous hate site in the world, cannot operate without the protection of cyber security services provided by Bitmitigate. Sign this petition to demand that Bitmitigate, and its parent company Epik, drop 8chan as a client and stop protecting this violent and lawless hate site linked to 7 mass shootings since 2017.
Why is this important?
8chan is the most dangerous hate site in the world, linked to 7 mass shootings since 2017 including El Paso and New Zealand. The site cannot operate without the protection of cyber security services offered by a handful of firms. After the 8chan-inspired shooting in El Paso, the security firm Cloudflare dropped 8chan as a client. The lawless hate site went down immediately. But now Bitmitigate, another security firm, says it will protect 8chan. Sign this petition to pressure Bitmitigate-and any other cyber-security firm-to drop 8chan as a client.
This is not the first moral failing for Bitmitigate. After the 2017 Charleston chruch shooting, the pro-Nazi site The Daily Stormer lost its security firm. But Bitmitigate announced it would take on this hateful client, and has protected the site for two years now.
Seattle-based Bitmitigate is owned by Vancouver-based Epik. So if you want to do more, you can also go to Epik and Bitmitigate’s websites, look at their client lists, and call their current clients. Explain to them that Bitmitigate is protecting 8chan and The Daily Stormer, and encourage them to move their business to another security firm that does not protect the most violent and lawless hate sites on earth, which incite mass shootings and murder.
