Yet ANOTHER call for net regulation. There are so many now I am hard pressedto keep track of them. It appears that the media may adopt "regulation of the Internet" as it's next babe. Ya know how the adopted the Internet itself first, now watch as the entire mainstream media is flooded with calls for net regulation. Bigots' Growing Use Of Computer Networks Assailed The Simon Wiesenthal Center on 12-13-94 sent a letter to Prodigy protesting bigots online messages of hate. Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the center decries the growing use by hate groups. The Wiesenthal Center wants government policing of the internet. They fear one-sided exposure of youths to white supremacist messages. Civil libertarians and white supremacists say that free speech should prevail. Marc Rotenburg of the Electronic Privacy Info Center says that it's a difficult issue and that censorship and control are ver y inappropriate. White supremacist groups like the National Alliance and the American Rennaisance can spread propaganda nationwide. These types of hate groups are kept out of mainstream media and are thus short of funds. Valerie Filds of West LA said she saw an anti latino diatribe on Prodigy that plugged American Rennaisance of Louisville KY. She says she saw a message that seemed to be from a white supremacist group. She says she saw one referring to the "Diary of Anne Frank" as a "Jewish Hoax". The Wiesenthal cente r wants such messages deleted. Anti-semitic comments on Prodigy in 1991 resulted in a policy prohibiting "blatant expressions of hatred". Kevin Strom, who produces a radio show for National Alliance, said he was recently blocked from forums on Compuserve. He said that "the system operator decided we didn't deserve free speech." His article "The Wisdom of Henry Ford" about the book "The International Jew" was downloaded 120 times. Georgia Griffith of Compuserve said "we are not oblidged to publish it for him." There are 5 m subscribers to commercial online services, 2 m to Prodigy, 20 m accessing the internet. Rabbi Cooper wants the FCC to place a cop on the internet. White supremacist propaganda is available on the internet. The Institute for Historical Review's article "Frequently Asked Questions about National Socialis m" is available. Far-right activists say anonymity removes inhibitions too. The National Alliance uses Netcom Online Communications Services in California. Texts and promotions of its radio show are available there. National Alliance chairman William Pierce said "The major media in this country are very biased against our political point of view. They present us with ridicule or in a very distorted way. The information superhighway is much more free of censorship."
