General Discussion

(Christian Science Monitor) "Argentina has emerged as the location of choice for websites set up by the world's ultranationalist and neo-Nazi political groups."

"In recent years, race-hate groups in Europe and in other Latin American countries have come under increasing pressure to curtail their online activities. Authorities have dismantled some extremist sites, or pressured web-hosting companies to close sites temporarily for posting offensive or illegal content...Neo-Nazi groups experience few such problems in Argentina."

" 'The late 1990s saw the re-birth of neo-Nazi groups in Argentina, both in the real world and on the Internet,' says Sergio Widder, Latin America representative for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization. 'The ultraright in Argentina is using the Internet to help create a neo-Nazi network in Latin America.' According to the Wiesenthal Center, the number of sites worldwide it deems 'problematic' has grown to 3,000 today from one in 1995. Specific numbers for Argentina were unavailable."
