‘They said that they wouldn’t confirm it but that I could find this out if I wanted to go a local magistrate or something.’
Facebook banned Cantwell from its site after the documentary aired and now OKCupid has followed suit.
The online dating site announced the decision on Twitter, saying: ‘There is no room for hate in a place where you’re looking for love.’
The site also asked users to report anyone who appears to be involved in a hate group.
CEO Elie Seidman gave a statement to Gizmodo saying: ‘OKCupid has zero tolerance for racism.
‘We make a lot of decision every day that are tough. Banning Christopher Cantwell was not one of them.’

In the Vice documentary, Cantwell condoned the alt-right’s use of violence and took aim at US President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka.
He said: ‘I’m here to spread ideas, talk, in the hopes that somebody more capable will come along… somebody like Donald Trump who does not give his daughter to a Jew.’
Cantwell went on to say his ‘ideal leader’ would be ‘a lot more racist than Donald Trump.’
