U.K. to crack down on terrorist sites
Dan Ilet of Silicon.com writes in ZDNet News:
The British government has announced plans to clamp down on people who run Web sites that incite terrorism.
In a parliamentary speech Wednesday, Home Secretary Charles Clarke said that in going beyond the boundaries of usual national security measures, the government would have to "tread carefully" around free speech.
Clarke said: "I have decided that it is right to broaden the use of these powers to deal with those who foment terrorism, or seek to provoke others to commit terrorist acts. To that end, I intend to draw up a list of unacceptable behaviors that fall within those powers--for example, preaching, running Web sites or writing articles that are intended to foment or provoke terrorism."
