Panel Summary
Kids taunting classmates (with resulting emotional scars); harassment, stalking, and death threats; and organized and race-, gender-, religion-based hate groups; prominent bloggers like Kathy Sierra and Blackamazon have taken their blogs down after death threats or attacks ... along with all the speech-empowering power of cyberspace, the Internet also distributes words and images of hate. Are there effective ways of dealing with this issue?
