Goosestepping in cyberspace
The politics of the Internet make strange bedfellows. When the German
government moved to bar German Internet users from downloading material
on a neo-Nazi net site, the free-speech-in-cyberspace crowd reacted by
downloading the stuff and posting it all over the net. Joseph Goebels
would be proud.
