I think it’s time people flooded them with complaints. The media likely needs to be brought in as well. Thoughts?

Although I agree with Erin M to the extent that people shouldn’t be prosecuted for their beliefs, the websites cited in that article go beyond that. As Rose has noted, they publish names, home addresses and photographs – but they also go a step further. Although most have been removed now due to increased police attention, one of the websites in question also included incitements to violence in the (moderated) comments section. Readers were told that the people featured on the site should be strung up, shot, or have their throats cut.

Classy stuff!! Blogger seems to think it’s above the law (whether that be American or Australian law) and need to be taken down a peg. It is unreasonable to expect them to monitor every blog that they host, but once inappropriate material has been brought to their attention they have a responsiblity to remove it – their inaction makes them complicit in all violence that comes as a result of these hitlists.

Andrew put it eloquently above:

“You cannot provide a soap box for someone to stand on and then claim that you are totally removed from what they say.”

I’m going to steal that one, thanks.

The Patriot Alliance site posts the names, addresses and photographs of people it does not like. Do you still defend their right to free speech? Red Watch NZ is the other blog that violates Blogger’s user agreement. Having been to both blogs, all I can say is that these are hateful blogs owned by neo-Nazis.
