Hate sites have been a major community concern regarding the Internet. A particular concern has been children or young people being indoctrinated by these websites. Some hate sites explicity target children (see [USA Today article]). Three main approaches have been proposed for this problem: education, content filtering software, and banning hate sites. Education involves educating people about the dangers posed by hate sites. Content filtering software involves the installation of software on computers by parents or schools which blocks user access to hate sites (among other things.) Banning hate sites involves adopting civil or criminal penalties for those who place hate sites on the Internet. |
