There's a difference between that and hate speech.

From what I understand in order for advocating violence to be a crime the violence must be "imminent" ... i.e. I can type on here "we should all go and have a riot downtown"...no crime committed.

But, if I am downtown and shouting through a megaphone "burn this motherfricker down, smash up the stores" (or whatever you'd say to incite a riot )...then that's a crime.

With that in mind, I'd be curious as to what was written on those websites that was used as an excuse to have them taken down. If it wasn't something severely egregious then this is a terribly slippery slope we've started down.

ETA: Just read a little further and saw it was the ISP that booted them. Whelp, in that case DS should sue just like the gay wedding cake people.
