How
to make a complaint about racially offensive material
on the Internet
Here is a guide to the law in England and Wales as of
February 2002: "Racially
Inflammatory Material on the Internet". This
document is already
getting on for 7 years old so it is likely to be out of date regarding
the current state of the law. Make your complaint here: The Internet
Watch Foundation (but
only after
you have read the above guide).
The Internet
Watch Foundation is an incorporated charity so I recommend you contact
the Charity
Commission if you feel that the IWF is not taking your
complaint sufficently seriously.
Even better than contacting the IWF is
to report instances of
illegal activity (such as incitement to hatred) to the police
directly via this website or
the Home Office department responsible for policing and crime, via this
website. Good luck.
