| STRASBOURG, France (AP) -- Canada became the first non-European
| country Friday to sign up to combat "cyberhate," the online
| dissemination of xenophobic propaganda.
|
| Canada signed an additional protocol to the international cybercrime
| convention, drafted in 2001 by the Council of Europe.
|
| Signed by several dozen countries, including Canada, the United
| States, South Africa and Japan, the convention names four types of
| cybercrime: confidentiality offenses, notably breaking into computers;
| fraud and forgery; content violations, such as child pornography and
| racism; and copyright offenses.

But they failed to include certain Arabic religious zealots from what is
fast becoming "normal" discourse, either to each other or to infidels.
