Mainstream politicians have responded by pressuring service providers to shut down extremist sites and member pages. Although well-intentioned, that strategy is just further proof of how out of touch they are: As any record company exec will tell you, the Web is far too dynamic a place for blunt regulations.

European political parties need to realize that in the era of Internet politics, winning means ceding a little control -- otherwise, they might lose it completely.
