The suspected gunman behind the El Paso massacre is believed to have drawn inspiration from 8chan, an online forum where bigotry is celebrated.

Cloudflare, a San Francisco-based tech giant, announced Sunday it is kicking extremist forum 8chan off its network following reports that the alleged El Paso, Texas, gunman may have been inspired by discussions on the online message board.

In a press conference Saturday, law enforcement officials said they are exploring whether the suspect posted a four-page violent, xenophobic manifesto titled “The Inconvenient Truth.” Cloudflare said it had already “sent notice that we are terminating 8chan as a customer effective at midnight tonight Pacific Time.”
