Teen arrested for inciting hate on Facebook
A Quebec teen has been charged for allegedly inciting racial hatred through the social networking site Facebook.
The 17-year-old from Sept-Îles was arrested for using his Facebook page to disseminate hate and propaganda against different ethnic groups, police said Tuesday.
"It was phrases that he wrote on his Facebook profile," said provincial police Sgt. Patrick Lowe.
He faces two charges: uttering threats and inciting hatred on the internet.
The boy is a minor, so his identity cannot be revealed.
Quebecer arrested for spreading hate
Quebec provincial police have arrested a second person this week for allegedly spreading hate on the Internet.
A 28-year-old man faces charges of broadcasting hate propaganda, through Youtube.
Police allege the man used the popular video-sharing site, as well as networking sites Twitter and Facebook, to spread hateful commentary on different ethnic groups and visible minorities.
Provincial police Sgt. Claude Ross says a citizen's complaint in January spurred the investigation.
Police seized a computer at the suspect's home, as well as Nazi flags and shirts as well as propaganda material.
Ross says the two arrests for similar crimes in a matter of days is merely coincidental.
A 17-year-old was arrested earlier this week in the northeastern Quebec town of Sept-Îles, for using his Facebook page to allegedly spread hate.
