“Hate groups” is a vague and dangerous label to base policy on, but most commercial services probably prohibit use of their service for inciting/advocating violence, which is the explicit basis of the GoDaddy decision and likely the basis of the others.
If what they publish is legal, they should be able to register a domain name like everyone else.
They will find a new home whether anyone wants them to or not.
It is quite scary the power some of these large companies have over the freedom of information.
Do you honestly think Apple will allow Nazi apps in their app store? I don't see why Google would want to damage the brand by supporting Nazis.
