Judge Recommends Daily Stormer Publisher Pay $14 Million to Woman Targeted with Anti-Semitic Trolling
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A federal magistrate judge said the founder and editor of the neo-Nazi
website The Daily Stormer should be ordered to pay over $14 million to a
Montana woman who was the target of an anti-Semitic "troll-storm." The
Daily Stormer publisher, Andrew Anglin, mounted an online intimidation
campaign in 2016 against Tanya Gersh, a Jewish real estate agent from
the resort town of Whitefish. In the following months, Gersh and her
family received hundreds of hate-filled messages, forcing them to
temporarily leave their home.
