ISP Fined $5000 For Hate Content
eRondeau writes "In a precedent-setting ruling, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has fined a hosting company for carrying 'objectionable content'. The material in question was White Supremacist postings. From the article: 'The ruling sends a very strong message that Internet servers, if they are aware there is hate content and don't take timely action to remove it, can be held liable,' said the Ottawa lawyer who filed the complaint in February 2002. The individual posters were fined thousands as well."

Well, my immediate thought is SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PICK MY COTTON NIGNOG
Lameness filter encountered. Nigger baby aborted!
Banning of investigation or discussion of a historical event only makes me assume there must be something to hide. Especially if it's the only historical event censored in this way. Who wouldn't doubt the official story of 9/11 if discussion of it was banned tomorrow, to "prevent hate speech against victims and families of the victims"?
Is no secret for anyone the hatred groups in Canada, they cover themselves under the freedom of speech cloack.
Canada is something like 100 years behind China in human rights acts.
Think the last sordid attemp to level the playground for persons of different races, religions and skin colours comes from the 80!!!!!, go figure, think most people in Canada use it as toilet paper.

Canada - we put the .ca into g*tse.ca!
Oh and also for all of the harrassment/ dupes/ mean comments/ whatever on this silly site and quitting school and causing me this many problems by going to the real police with your bs, I went through every proper channel instead of being like you goofballs.
I should seriously file a suit against Slashdot, they deserve it, you guys really do...Let's see I can find about four to five comments with my name on this site directly, and about 1,200 hundred comments about me indirectly on this site through your silly hidden crap, then at PSU MK, I was driving yesterday and someone said, do you want to be beat up? I know your car? I was like, eh I am a 32 yr old widow, are you high?
And then people in my own community in Bethel Park, PA that know I wouldn't play around with silly kids, and then that last of it really pissed me off, Women killing their husbands for the insurance money? Whoever posted that, um should be banned from you site, I seriously hope a moderator reads this, I truly do...
But the thing is, goofball stuff is goofball stuff, if you want to post shit all day long no matter what it is, it is your perogative, not mine. I feel sorry for whoever did that crap to me, I really do.
I wish they would just go away or take it up with me in person, honestly, you want some free speech? GET SOME BALLS and take it up with me directly instead of posting your bitch and whine boy session stuff for fun and your sociopathic no respect comments about women at your school that you have problems with....
If you have a problem with someone you take it up with them, you don't lie about silly shit for a year and perpetuate being silly, honestly, you goofs (like I said, it is probably about 1% of your community here, that is why I never did anything real Slashdot types that actually learn things from your forum, there have been lots of interesting things posted, I learned a bit about computers from your site, so it is not the normal people here) Anyway you shouldn't lie about stupid crap, there is my big two cents or if you want to get it settled, I can write you a check for a big two thousand dollars, your choice, d*ckheads- Vicki McPherson
Right to safety? That's a new one on me. It's like saying you have a "right" to a nice car. Saying it doesn't make it so. In reality, you get a degree of safety in proportion to your good fortune and your wit in applying the effort of will to securing your safety, but it's playing with marginal factors and the results are not much: You still die.
Right to safety, huh? I get a good chuckle out of that one.

No, it's not. "hate speech" in this country is the incitement of hatred, with a view to violence, against an identifiable group of persons. "Black people commit crimes hurrrr" is not hate speech. "Kill all the niggers" is.
A) Somehow I doubt you are one of the judges who gets to decide what this means, so your particular interpetation doesn't matter.
B) It's completely ridiculous to think the goverment would stick to the strictest definition. Goverments have a habit of bending the rules when it suits their purpose.
C) The defintion you gave is incredibly vague. Saying that you support say, the war in Iraq, would easily fall under that definition. Are Canadains, as individuals not allowed to decide which wars they like and do not? We're not even talking about actually doing something here, just speech!
Life is too short to proofread.
