Dossier #4: Strategies against right-wing extremism on the net

The current report of the German federal office responsible for defending the constitution notes that the total number of far-right websites amounts to more than 3000 worldwide. A third of these are based in Germany and other German-speaking countries. Far-right parties like the NPD (the National Democratic Party of Germany), as well as single individuals or small far-right associations, use the internet as a forum and as a base for spreading far-right propaganda and music. Faced with this great number of far-right websites, we must ask ourselves how they should be dealt with. Our fourth dossier takes a look at internet projects and initiatives which answer this question in very different ways and in so doing, provide material for a discussion on the various strategies against Nazis on the net.
