There are more than 4,000 terrorist-related websites worldwide. Ideas cross borders through cyberspace. We aren’t going to ban our way out of this problem. Cyberspace affords individuals access and anonymity in an extremist environment and the ability to find like-minded extremists in thousands of chat rooms and social networking sites.

To what extent can any government respond to online terrorist propaganda without compromising the availability and use of the Internet for legitimate, however contentious, political discussion and debate? How and where should the dividing line between free speech and community safety be made?

There are about 4,000 terrorist-related websites on the internet. Cyberspace allows ideas to travel across borders. We’re not going to be able to prohibit our way out of this mess. Individuals have access to and anonymity in an extremist milieu through cyberspace, as well as the capacity to find like-minded extremists in tens of thousands of chat rooms and social networking sites.

To what extent is this true?
