Worrying issues regarding online Holocaust denial

"While the internet network is the most dynamic platform available today, it also seems to be a brutal battlefield, one that has no we are clear rules or regulations.

Almost 70 years after the atrocities of the Holocaust, hatred, racism, and especially antisemitism are still everywhere. The phenomena has probably intensified in recent years, much due to the contribution of the internet. Holocaust denial and antisemitism seem to work together. A brief look online reveals that both are way too common on the internet.

Freedom of speech seem to provide a prosperous environment for the distribution of false unchecked information thus creating a platform that intensifies incitement and sedition. In this chaotic we can find user who present themselves as distinguished scholars or journalists, changing historical facts, manufacturing false evidences that adapt history to their political agenda."
