Hate material is spreading on the Internet. The question is what, if anything, can be done about it. What are the technical, legal and strategic options available? The Internet is wonderfully versatile, which is why everyone is turning to it for information and trade. The trouble is, so are criminals. All sorts of crimes are committed using the net, from straightforward hacking to industrial espionage, sabotage, fraud, infringement of copyright, illegal gambling and trade in narcotics, medicines and armaments. The web is also used to peddle child pornography. And it is a vehicle for the dissemination of hate literature. Neo-nazi groups have taken advantage of the Internet to spread their doctrine. Their campaigns, which specifically target young people, encourage racist violence and propagate revisionist lies about the Holocaust. Hateful songs and children’s games can be downloaded; one game allows the child to assume the role of a concentration camp commandant.
