>[...] it is true that in terms of purely political or religious speech, and freedom of the (printed) press, the U.S. experiences significantly less censorship than some other countries. For instance, a U.S. newspaper may freely express opinions which in other places might be criminalized as "hate speech," and organizations dedicated to such speech may freely march and speak in public (after having complied with all relevant content-neutral regulations). For these reasons, the Web services of most neo-nazis organizations, and most Holocaust deniers, etc. are hosted in the United States. This is a point of contention with some other countries and some groups, which point out that these organizations advocate policies that historically resulted in the deprivation of free speech and democratic rights, as well as the mass extermination of millions.

That text worries most people, Peter, and that is precisely why speech deemed detestable should be allowed. For every time we think we have evolved, that these horrific ideas have finally been wiped from the earth, it is this form of expression that wakes us to reality, reminding us how easily something as tragic as the Holocaust could all start anew. Suppression <> destruction. In some cases, suppression only makes people more determined in their cause to spread vitriol. Only in the harsh light of day --- true freedom of expression and speech -- can we expose these ideas, discuss them, and come to a general consensus as to how much weight they should be given.
