Poor Mojo's Two Minute Hate

Over the past few years, there has been a rise in cyber crimes on the internet. Some of the crimes are invading a persons privacy by hacking into their computer systems, spreading computer virus on the internet and of course the very common computer crime, computer fraud. But recently there is a new cyber crime trend which is 'Hate Sites' which basically means a website that promotes hatred....

According to Jeffery Long (Unruh 2007), the internet, which we use a tool of communication and knowledge has frequently being abuse and has become a vehicle of the worst human impulses, as reflected in the websites devoted to fomenting hatred and violence against a particular religion or ethnic groups. BBC news (2004) has also stated that net is being used by racist and extremist groups trying to recruit new members and spread their message. Hindu American Community had filed a report against Christian hate site which force its ministry at teaching Christians. This is ethically wrong because everyone has the right to choose their own beliefs

Hate Sites are morally and ethically wrong because the effects and message that they are sending to the people are not positive.

What can we do to prevent Hate Sites from spreading?

Computer are changing the way human makes decisions therefore we must decide when to trust computer and when not to trust them (Edgar 2003, pp. 1-8) because some of the information provided by the hate sites are not reliable.
