Summary

Protected by their First Amendment rights and the Internet's philosophy of "post it and let the readers decide," American hate groups are using the world wide web to create virulent virtual communities of intolerance. ABC News anchor Ted Koppel investigates the proliferation of hate on-line in a discussion with Don Black, founder of the white nationalist web site Storm Front, and Floyd Abrams, a First Amendment attorney, who has represented the New York Times and ABC News. They discuss both the medium and the message, plus the controversial issue of content filtering.
