Robert Monster is a Sammamish resident who is no stranger to controversy. He is the CEO of Epik, a company that provides domain and web hosting services, and is known for doing business with several far-right and extremist websites including Gab and Infowars. Last month, it became the domain registrar for Parler, the social media platform that was used by many Trump supporters to coordinate the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. In this wide-ranging interview, Monster discusses why he is motivated to provide technology support to controversial organizations, where he draws the line between free speech and hate speech, and the role that he sees Epik playing to counter-balance the current political and media environment.
