Incels.me, the toxic misogynistic community of self-proclaimed involuntary celibates, is no more — at least at that web address.

On Tuesday, the .ME registry, which controls the entire .ME domain database, published a post explaining that they — and not a domain registrar like GoDaddy — had suspended the domain. The registry says the domain was suspended over anti-abuse policy infractions based on the promotion of acts of violence and hate speech on the website. Incels.me has been inaccessible since Oct. 15.

Incels.me acted as the main online hub for involuntary celibates, or “incels” for short, who congregated in its forums. The incel community is known for its toxic misogynistic views, identifying themselves as “single without choosing to be so,” and blaming women as well as men in relationships for their own sexual failures.

“The decision to suspend the domain was made after the .ME Registry exhausted all other possibilities that could assure us that the registrant of incels.me domain and the owner of incels.me forum was able to remove the subject content and prevent the same or similar content from appearing on the forum again,” said the post.

The domain registry says it was monitoring incels.me since May after being notified about the website’s possible connection to a domestic terror attack.

Earlier this year, the forum received national media attention after a man attacked a crowd with a van in Toronto, killing 10. The driver, Alek Minassian, identified himself as an incel in online posts. In one Facebook post right before the attack, he wrote “the Incel Rebellion has already begun!” The forum praised Minassian as a “new saint.” This sentiment was not out of the ordinary for the incel community, which praises Elliot Rodger, a misogynist mass shooter who murdered six people in Isla Vista, California in 2015, as a hero. The incels.me forum, specifically, has been host to pedophilic, pro-rape sentiment and calls for more incel-inspired violence. Reddit banned its r/incels subreddit community over similar content in November 2017.

The .ME registry claims that it reached out to the registrant of the incels.me domain through the domain registrar — the company which the domain was actually registered through. 

In this notice sent by the .ME registry in September, it informed the owner of incels.me of a possible suspension due to infractions of the registry’s anti-abuse policies. The registry also explained in this notice how to avoid this suspension by removing the offending content from the site and taking steps to avoid similar content from being posted in the future. 

“Upon inspecting incels.me forum for policy violations on October 15th, the .ME Registry determined that the content that encouraged acts of violence and hate speech still appeared on the forum,” said the .ME registry in its post. “Having witnessed this disregard of not only .ME Registry’s policies and suspension warnings, but also of incels.me forum’s policies the domain registrant formulated themselves, the .ME Registry suspended the domain and decided that it would remain suspended.”

The registrants said in a press release that they were not given notice before .ME Registry took the site down.

The suspension may sound a bit reminiscent of Gab.com being booted from GoDaddy over content promoting violence and hate speech last month after a mass shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. In actuality, the two cases are a lot different. 

GoDaddy, as a domain registrar, simply manages the domains registered on its platform. When GoDaddy informed Gab that they no longer wanted to be its domain registrar, Gab was able to transfer its domain to a different domain name company.

With incels.me, the domain was suspended by a registry, specifically in this case the .ME registry, which runs and maintains the database of all the top-level domains under its management. Incels.me being suspended by the registry means they can no longer use the domain in any capacity, regardless of where the domain was registered.

Black Friday is nearly here. And yes, that means we’re going into the deep end of the holiday season.

You probably have a list of people to buy gifts for, and you might be on the hunt for something special for yourself, too. Chances are your eye on a product or two, and you’re eagerly awaiting the price to drop.

Black Friday is often your best bet for saving big on those products. Big-ticket items like 4K TVs will get some deep cuts along with more affordable options.

Here’s a list of top tech that you should snag immediately if a sale presents itself this Black Friday.

Amazon Echo Show

The second-generation Echo Show has a larger display, better sound, and a sleeker design. While it’s typically not so cheap at $229, there’s a good chance it will get a discount. The 10.1-inch screen is great for watching shows on Hulu or from NBC. Plus it can be used for karaoke through Amazon Music or Spotify since it can show lyrics. Moreover, if you want immediate gratification, Whole Foods has it in store. 

Furbo Dog Camera

Dog owners, listen up. Leaving your dog is often sad, especially when they look at you as you’re closing the door. Furbo’s Dog Camera lets you watch, talk, and shoot a treat at your four-legged friend while away. While the camera is stationary, it’s weighted, so your pup can’t knock it over. It can shoot a treat or two out several feet. The HD camera can’t be panned, but you can zoom in, and it performs well in dark lighting conditions.  

Apple AirPods

Apple’s AirPods, its true-wireless headphones, have become ubiquitous. They cost a decent amount at $159, but they’re also a few years old now, and you may see some great discounts on them this year. iPhone users really can’t go wrong with them. Bluetooth pairing is ridiculously easy thanks to the W1 chip, and sound is very good.

Totallee Thin Cases

Apple’s iPhones have a great design, and the same goes for several Android phones. Some people value protection over style, but ideally you want a case that compliments the design. Totallee makes ultra-thin cases that look amazing (especially for iPhones). Even better, the cases come in many colors and finishes, including a clear option. 

UGGs Combo Headphone Earmuffs

Ugg might be known for super warm boots, but at least one tech product is in its lineup. The Classic Tech Earmuff or Sheepskin Headband Earmuff packs in warmth and a fuzzy build, while also sneaking a pair of headphones in each ear. The sheepskin on either of these is water resistant, and the auxiliary cord can be attached or detached. For devices that have dropped the headphone jack (i.e. most flagship phones today), you’ll need to bring an adapter.

SanDisk microSD Cards

Everyone can always use more storage. Androids owners, GoPro users, avid DSLR shooters, and even Nintendo Switch gamers. SanDisk makes some of the best microSD cards that offer fast read and write times, with storage options from 16GB up to 400GB size. Check retailers like Amazon.com, Target, BestBuy, eBay, and even Walmart for some steep discounts.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II 

A good pair of headphones doesn’t come cheap, especially with noise cancellation built-in. The current Bose QC 35 II is one of the better ones, with several levels of noise cancellation, Alexa or the Google Assistant built-in, and long battery life. The cost is high at $349.95, but Black Friday could deliver some discounts on them.

Amazon Echo Dot

The entry-level Alexa speaker is the Echo Dot. For 2018 it got a redesign, with better sound. It keeps that same $49.99 price, and there’s a good chance it’ll get discounted for Black Friday. Plus Amazon is offering three of them together for under $100.

Samsung SmartThings Wifi

Samsung’s second go at a mesh WiFi system combines internet connectivity with a smart home network. The SmartThings WiFi three-pack covers up to 4,500 square feet with WiFi, ideal for most homes. Each of these hubs intelligently provided internet to the connected devices. Plus, each one contains ZigBee and Z-Wave connectivity to power your smart home. 

Nimble Wireless Dual Pad

Listen, AirPower still isn’t here, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t charging pads that can handle more than one device. Nimble is an eco-friendly mobile accessory company from the team behind Mophie. You can charge two devices wirelessly on the Wireless Dual Pad. It also supports fast charging with iPhone and Samsung devices thanks to an output of up to 10 watts.
