42. While the Net has enormous potential for interactivity, participation, and rebuttal of falsehoods -- in short, potential for free exchange in the marketplace of ideas -- the operators of the Zundel site have refused to take advantage of these aspects. They avoid any form of interaction with those who disagree with their views. As a result, it is impossible to effectively rebut their falsehoods. There is no sign that this pattern will change in future, either with the Zundel site or with the other major Holocaust-denial organizations and individuals on the Internet.
