The idea of suing a website might seem abhorrent to advocates of free speech on the internet, but maybe one case shows that it can be justified?
Whitefish Woman's Lawsuit Over 'Daily Stormer' Harassment Proceeding
The Missoulian is reporting [archive] that a Whitefish woman's lawsuit against a Nazi website is going forward.
Montana Public Radio reports that Andrew Anglin, publisher of The Daily Stormer, is being sued by an individual the website targeted because of the mother of Richard Spencer:
The Daily Stormer called for readers to harass her and her family over her dealings with the mother of white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Northwestern Montana, however, has had some experience in dealing with neo-Nazis in the neighborhood.

Montana Public Radio's mistake here repeated in the summary; the article they linked at the Missoulian more correctly states "More than seven months after a Whitefish woman initially sued the publisher of a neo-Nazi website who called for a “troll storm” against her, the case is beginning to move forward." (emphasis mine)
I don't entirely agree with the summary here either. I generally support free speech but if the contents of these articles are to be believed, the website is just a long series of vile personal attacks without any actual data discussion. I'd have to actually see what they're about of course to be sure and don't have the time today.
