"Group Urges an Internet Ban On Hate Groups' Messages.
Joins in Move to Censor Offensive Material."
Citing the "rapidly expanding presence of organized hate
groups on the Internet," a leading Jewish human rights
group yesterday began sending letters to hundreds of
Internet access providers and universities asking them
to refuse to carry messages that "promote racism, anti-
Semitism, mayhem and violence."
A sage says, "It is not possible to end idiocy by
censoring it. The best response is cellular."
