http://broadbandcensus.com/blog/?p=895On Hate Speech, Internet Service Providers Exempt from First Amendment, Attorney SaysBy Andrew Feinberg, Reporter, BroadbandCensus.comWASHINGTON, October 17 - Protecting children in an age of broadband–connected wireless devices and Web 2.0 applications will require pro-active cooperation by internet service providers (ISPs), a panel of child safety experts and industry representatives said Thursday at the National Press Club.
Christopher Wolf, an attorney at Proskauer Rose, said that ISPs should play a greater role in patrolling against hate speech. The terms of service of broadband providers are “not constrained by the First Amendment,” he said, and could have a role to play in taking such speech down.[...]Parents can’t abdicate responsibility for their kids’ online activities because they don’t understand the technology, he warned.
Another danger lurking online comes from the proliferation and routine exposure of children to so-called hate speech on sites that indoctrinate or recruit at-risk youths, Wolf said. Wolf chairs the Anti-Defamation League’s internet task force, and said that increases in cyberbullying might be linked to the increased accessibility of such content and the ease with which kids can now communicate with each other.Wolf said that ISPs need to more vigilantly “keep track” of sites with racist materials in order to keep kids away from such content. Wolf is also co-chairman of the AT&T-supported “Hands Off the Internet” coalition, a group opposed to Net Neutrality rules.[...]
Balkam suggested that ISP terms of service would be the “next battleground” on hate speech and cyberbullying. Public pressure will work to pressurize web site operators and service providers on the issue, he said.--------------------------------------------------------------------Related Articles:
