Advocate, The, Dec 22, 1998
In our July 21 column we reported that the filtering software Cyber Patrol makes it possible to weed out hateful sites. But with our own test we found that sites such as the Rev. Fred Phelp's godhatesfags.com slipped through the cracks. Now Cyber Patrol has teamed with the Anti-Defamation League to create the ADL HateFilter, said to block Phelps's and other homophobic sites.
But apparently hate is cropping up faster than technology can track it. The New York Times reported November 11 that HateFilter allows access to a white nationalist site called RAHOWA--an acronym for "racial holy way"--that, among other features, contains a crude joke about Matthew Shepard. http://www.adl.org/hate-patrol/info/default.htm
