The ADL and Hatewatch diverge over live-linking, but they see eye to eye or government regulation.
Both organizations say that government regulation is neither desirable not possible.
"The technology doesn't allow easy denial of access," Goldman says. "The Internet looks at censorship as damage and works around it."
But Hatewatch does support private service providers with model policies to prevent hate pages from sprouting up on their servers. Many of these providers offer free Web pages.
Having a policy "forces them to spend the money" on a commercial service. Goldman says. "Why should a person who survived the death camps at Auschwitz be on the same server as a Holocaust denier?" he says.
Hatewatch lists nine service providers with no-hate page policies.
Geocities, which provides free e-mail and Web pages, offers a simple explanation for their no-hate page policy.
"We don't think people should hate each other," says Dick Hackenberg, vice-president of marketing.
He said Geocities also believes that control of Web page content should be conducted by providers.
"Our feeling is that the industry should be self-regulating," he says.
While Goldman endorses service providers with no-hate page policies, he says he believes individuals' getting informed and involved is most important.
"The thing that fatigues me the most is not a hate groups or hate speech. It's people who say 'Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm really interested' and you never hear from them again," he says.
"At universities especially people and to forget that good thoughts are not equal to actions," he adds.
