The American Nazi Party established a website on Yahoo promoting Nazi propaganda and selling Nazi memorabilia from World War II. In the country of France, there is a specific central government law that forbids the promotion of Nazi propaganda and the sale of Nazi memorabilia. This led to three attempts by the French government to force Yahoo to take this website down: The French government asked Yahoo to take the website down. Yahoo refused on the grounds that it was within the Nazi Party’s First Amendment rights. A group of French Jewish students filed suit in a French court, and obtained a court order directing Yahoo to take the website down. The French court order was served on Yahoo, but Yahoo refused to comply with this order from a foreign court. The French government then filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California seeking an order to force Yahoo to take the website down. The court refused on the grounds that the American Nazi Party was acting within their First Amendment rights, and not subject to French laws. This article: Nazi hunting: How France first “civilized” the Internet is available on the Internet. So the question becomes: “How will our First Amendment rights survive in cyberspace?" In 1996, and again in 1998, the Clinton Administration passed laws attempting to limit child pornography on the Internet. In both cases, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed suit that went to the Supreme Court which ruled that both laws were unconstitutional, in violation of the First Amendment. China hammered Google’s Internet searches by maintaining control of all servers accessible by hard wire, and forced Google to edit the result of their searches.

Thats what did you do you just wrote on sentences i need more details plz 2 and 1\2 pages i dont want it to look like qustion and you already used and have the source Literature Review E - Commerce Strategies. Definition and origin of Omni-channel retailing: i. What is Omni-channel retailing ? Omni-channel refers to a multichannel approach to sales that seeks to provide the customer with seamless shopping experiences. It provides the customer with the capability of either buying products online from a mobile device or a desktop. Also, customers can shop in bricks and mortar store or by telephone. ii. Describe the origin of Omni-channel? Its reason for implementing it? It is a marketing strategy that begun way back 2003 whereby it has evolved from unfamiliar concept to trendy buzzword, to a critical component of successful marketing. Omni-channel began and mainly based itself on Customer Centricity in stores. Its origin was figured out by Best Buy when they realized they could not beat Walmart on price. Therefore, the strategy ventured by Best Buy aimed at competing with Walmart to out do them in online retailing. It is in this regard that technology can blur the distinction between online and physical retailing, hence enabling the retailers and their supply chain partners rethink their competitive strategies.

Currently, most retailers and merchants are “Omni-channel” in their behavior and outlook. It is because they are majorly venturing into the offline and online retails channel to do their marketing and sales to clients. Merchants and Retailers in new environment flourish through re-examining their strategies for delivering products and information to their customers. ii. What are the impacts of online-offline integration of Omni-channel retailing? There is a rise of non-significant cannibalization of the physical stores, the small merchants and retailers from the channel integration. The retailers mostly advocate a competitive advantage through channel integration of both offline and online retailing. It has led to the willingness of the customers paying across channels. iii. Outline general consideration of innovation in regards to Omni-channel retailing? Innovations have to address industry, consumer, and regulatory-based challenges in order to facilitate the globalization of markets. Distinct changes have to be incorporated in the current mature, emerging and less develope.

Terrorism, Crime and Public Policy Terrorism, Crime and Public Policy , explores the concept of terrorism by examining the meaning of terrorism and questioning the many different interpretations of the label. In order to understand terrorism, the author explores the definitions and typologies of terrorism. "The common modern usage of the term, developed in the mid-twentieth century, regards terrorism as a tool of ethnic and religious fanatics to serve political ends, such as liberation from an alien occupying group, or simply to exact righteous vengeance against a group labeled as a threat or enemy" (Forst, 2007, p. 3). The article goes on to explore the different definitions, and defining characteristics, such as cell-based networks, political motivation, religious ideology, and the targeting of noncombatants. A large part of terrorism is creating and utilizing fear. The article suggest that managing the population's general fear of terrorism may be more effective than targeting terrorists themselves (Forst, 2007). The article goes on to discuss different viewpoints regarding what terrorism truly is, whether it is a tactic or an ideology. Forst identifies categories that nearly all acts of terrorism and terrorist groups fit into which help distinguish between the different types of terrorists, terrorist groups, and terrorist acts: * whether or not politically motivated * whether or not operating under state authority * degree of association with larger terrorist organizations or networks * extent of organization and planning * whether justified in religious or ethnic terms * whether aimed primarily at people or at symbolic targets * the types of people targeted I found this article interesting, and found the exercise of examining the different definitions of terrorism useful. The author's categories designed for distinguishing between terror related incidents and groups is an interesting tool for examining the differences between terrorist organizations and actors. Personally, I generally attribute the label terrorism to any violent or destructive act, which is primarily motivated by extremist religious or political beliefs. I view terrorism strictly as an ideology, although it is technically possible for entities to utilize terrorism as a tactic, I believe that to carry out acts of terrorism, one must be driven by an extremist ideology.
