ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on key concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book possesses an important advantage for right-wing political parties and movements, as for any other collective actor: it does not cost much and it connects the followers. It illustrates the great potentialities of the online environment for radical right groups and shows that the Internet is used more for some political functions and less for others by such groups. Throughout the world, the usage of the Internet by extremist groups is on the rise. Through the Internet people can access to limitless news and information options, especially in the blogosphere, however, as argued, in a situation where partisan weblogs emerge as a significant political force, the relationship between democracy. On the one hand, for constitutionalists, regulation of hate speech violates the First Amendment and damages a free society.
