About the event:
Fourth Law and Information Society Symposium: Hate Versus Democracy on the Internet
When:
March 26, 2010
Where:
New York, NY From political blogs to the exposure of rights abuses, the Internet advances communication and the free flow of information that is at the heart of democracy. Yet, from Holocaust deniers to terrorist organizers, the Internet also serves as an enabler for extremists promoting hate, violence and the corrosion of democratic values. This conference will explore the legal and policy dimensions of the Internet’s dual impact.
