Spreading Racial Hatred
Seems so easy to spread news of any kind on the Internet. This is the ultimate tool available to the greatest number of people for good and for ill. For the transmission of ill-bred, socially inhibiting misinformation about others on one side of the scale, and leading to theenablement of social intercourse of some merit on the other.A great, liberalizing tool of empowerment. And, unfortunately, given to misuse reflecting the most miserable depths of depravity that maladjusted human minds can devise.
The ease with which interested people can access gender-demeaning pornography is one. The relative ease - and now fraught with the potential for detection, happily - with which pederasts and adult-infantile minds can find humanly-indefensible photographs of children in sexually suggestive poses and much, much worse.
The use of the Internet to contact others of like mind interested in conducting enterprises of violent social destabilization. A very useful tool for instructions on assembling potential weapons of destructive capability. An equally useful tool through which terrorists can communicate and keep themselves fully apprised of their cohorts' activities.
And finally, the use of the Internet to disseminate hateful views on the inferiority of racial groups. News that the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has fined a man fromKelowna , British Columbia and ordered him to cease Internet use that exposes Jews, non-whites and the disabled to derision and spite and hatred comes as welcome information. That the fine is a mere six thousand isn't dreadfully impressive.
That he has been ordered to shut down the offending site is interesting, but doesn't guarantee that he won't simply go to another site and continue downloading his offensive material. The man, John David Beck, should be considered a pariah within society, an unfortunate aberration in civil society, but if there did not exist asizeable cadre of like-minded social degenerates he himself and his site would not be in the public eye.
The tribunal ruled that the material this man posted on his now-discontinued site "discriminates against a wide range of people, and encompasses comments that are vicious and dehumanizing, especially with respect to the disabled, a particularly vulnerable group." His website was groomed as a haven for those put off by "the premeditated decline" of people of superior, European descent.
The Montreal-based group which brought the existence of this site to the attention of the Canadian Human Rights Commission is satisfied that the tribunal is aware of the existence of organized networks of individuals existing just about anywhere, fully committed to their ideologies hate and their obligation toward spreading hatred against minorities.
Canadians can find some modicum of comfort in the fact that Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act is the world's only non-criminal legislation dealing specifically with Internet-spread hate.
