Message board used by violent extremists struggles to get back online

There is doubt a message board linked to violent extremists will be stamped out completely.

The site is struggling to get back online after its cyber-security provider has withdrawn support, after mass shootings in Texas and Ohio.

Hate messages were allegedly posted there relating to the mosque shootings and to another at a California synagogue.

Herald reporter Matt Nippert told Kerre McIvor that won't be the end of it.

He says 8chan will be more disrupted but the conversation will be driven to darker places.

"Blocking this message board will probably reduce the size of the white supremacist community."
