How Wikipedia dealt with teenage white supremacists
I found this article on Wikipedia about Prussian Blue, twin, teenage white supremacist singers. Apparently they’re really big in neo-Nazi circles and have been compared to the Olsen twins. I found out about Lamb and Lynx Gaede in a weekly email from Poynter announcing that they had granted Teen People an interview after going into hiding. I thought it was interesting how Wikipedia said “The neutrality of this article is disputed.” It directs visitors to the talk page where you can follow the discussion. I just thought it was a good example of how Wikipedia dealt with a controversial topic. There’s even instructions on how to ignore trolls. I did a little research on the girls and it’s crazy what they sing about. Just for the record - I am definitely not promoting the group.

Apparently these girls are making a lot of noise online to. I recently read a news article on ABC News.Com (i’ll post the url once i find it) discussing how their manager is using their website to market their music. This is just one example of how the Internet can be used for both good and bad. The girls were banned to sing at their local state fair but they’re still pumping out the content online. The manager said that they’re especially targeting younger kids, pre-teens and such, and the best place to find them is online.
So I have a question, are tools such as Netnanny important in a day and age like today?
