A report from the Wiesenthal Center shows that racist, extremist and terrorist groups are using the Internet to fundraise, recruit members and market their causes.
Extremist and hate groups are becoming more proficient at using the Internet to raise funds and recruit members, according to
“Digital Terrorism and Hate 2004”, the sixth volume of the Wiesenthal Center’s annual report of over 4,000 “problematic Web sites”. Like legitimate non-profit and charitable organisations, these groups are embracing the low-cost and global fundraising tool that the Internet offers.
