Like other European countries, France has strict anti-racism laws and web portals there try to weed out extremist sites. At least two French groups have filed suit against Internet companies under those laws this month. But racist groups from Europe have flocked to register in the United States where guarantees of freedom of expression mean there is little risk of prosecution, Simon Wiesenthal Centre researcher Marc Knobel told Reuters. He estimated that the number of racist websites worldwide has risen to close to 4,000 from 600 when he presented a report on hate sites to the United Nations in 1997. Groups can develop horrifically racist sites for zero cost and lure people who had no access to such material before,'' Knobel said.
