...Portland jury sent a clear message that Internet expression has limits, even though it's hard to regulate. As a medium for hate speech, the Net may be even more dangerous than print because it can put far-flung movement members in instantaneous contact. "The [Nuremberg] website takes it to even a higher level," says Planned Parenthood president Gloria Feldt. When Buffalo, N.Y., abortion doctor Barnett Slepian was killed last fall, she says, "his picture was crossed out within 15 minutes."
