Internet, The | The Internet Fosters Hate Speech
Stacia Brown argues in the following viewpoint that hate groups are flourishing on the Internet because in cyberspace such groups enjoy anonymity and near-exemption from prosecution. Moreover, she claims that the Internet allows racists and other hate groups to disseminate their hateful messages more efficiently than in the past. Brown points out that hate groups use several tactics to make their views attractive, including using the Bible to justify racism. Stacia Brown works for the Emory University Center for Ethics in Public Policy and the Professions.
