I understand, though I think the same approach would be very good for Europeans too. As for the situation you describe it is a good example of how technology can so easily be used to get around government censorship.
Although I oppose government censorship no matter what, I think it is worth noting that the Holocaust denial laws probably create more interest in the topic. I very much doubt they have resulted in fewer people reading the particular "revisionists" in question. I know in my case I actually became m more curious as to what they had to say as a result of the laws. I asked myself: if the evidence for the Holocaust is so airtight why is there any need for censorship? So I checked out the deniers for myself. I wasn't impressed with their arguments for denial, but on the other hand, the Holocaust (in particular the Shoah) has indeed become a sacred cow held up as uniquely evil. It's like the lives of Jews are considered worth more than the lives of other genocide victims. There's a quasi-religious aura around the whole topic and I don't like that at all. Notice how some countries ban Holocaust denial but allow people to deny the Armenian genocide, etc.
