I was just wondering if a website or forum that calls for the killings of a certian group of people can be shut down?
Lets say for example its a British forum online where British citizens around the world log in and can post articles, and it so happens that some users do call for killings of a certian number of British people etc, how would one go about reporting this or would it be even worth it? Could law enforcement track down the ip address and the owner of the site and compel him to clean up messages and arrest the writers of such inflammatory writings??????????
Someone please RSVP ASAP.

George Orwell wrote about such a world, it should be viewed as a warning not an aspiration.

don't worry, most of the people on these forums are strong by the keyboard but weak in real life! They have issues about themselves,I dont think gov would do anything to stop webs like that, they have other problems to deal with.

I suppose it depends on where the web site is hosted. In the US, there are rights to post whatever, in China on the other hand, it would come down pretty quickly.

I have always believed more dialog is better than less, even if some of it is outrageous - this is better than the alternative
