Billboards railing against the New World Order along dusty stretches of the information superhighway. Without context, exposes are more like ads. Stormfront's Black has noted that traffic on his web site increases dramatically after each news story. Media coverage left many people without an understanding of the role Internet activity plays in white supremacists' communications strategy and with the mistaken impression that white supremacist material has overtaken cyberspace. The coverage of cyberhate is disproportionate to the rest of white supremacist activity.
Online communication is only one weapon in the arsenal of the white supremacist movement.
It is important to understand how they wield that weapon and to accurately assess the damage it can yield. The white supremacist movement has long been on the crest of technological change. But prior to the Oklahoma City bombing, and the scrutiny given the far right in it's wake, media coverage of the Internet focused on its potential. Futurists saw technology that would make our lives easier. Corporations saw the tremendous money-making promise in this public resource.
