Digital Terrorism and Hate is the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s annual report on Internet hate.  This interactive CD-ROM is distributed to law enforcement, educators, politicians and journalists.  Wiesenthal Center researchers use their findings to educate police officers and educators on Internet usage.

For over a decade, the Simon Wiesenthal Center has been on the forefront in tracking online digital terror and hate. Our annual interactive reports documenting the "who's who" of digital hate have become a "must" for Hate Crimes Units, Homeland Security, National Law Enforcement, Intelligence Agencies in North America and abroad, as well as educators and the media. Our newly released 12th report:Digital Terrorism and Hate: The Global Reach, also focuses on how the Internet's dynamic new social networking services are being leveraged by extremists around the world. Social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube have both seen a huge proliferation of extremist use with the greatest increase coming from overseas, particularly Europe and the Middle East.

Wiesenthal Center researchers have gained access into the most remote discussion forums, uncovering and often forwarding materials to law enforcement and intelligence agencies around the world, including Canada. The current edition of DT&H has positioned FSWC as an invaluable source for information and indeed knowledge on Internet extremism. This year alone, tailor-made workshops on investigating Internet extremism have been given to a number of Canadian police agencies and included in the official training sessions of various forces. Police officers are introduced to the most dangerous Canadian groups, taught how to identify the registrants of extremist websites and trained to use open-source information, including their own computers to investigate and prevent crimes from happening rather than reacting to them.
