  1. Re:I dunno by sploxx · · Score: 1 · on YouTube Bans Terrorist Training Videos

    As a german, I like to point out that the nazis got the power largely by being voted for! So... it's not like the germans were overrun by a hostile government - the people here voted for the nazi idiots!

    I think that the idea of freedom of speech in a very basic way like it is written in the U.S. constitution is actually one of the few things which should be imported to Europe.

    The stupid german prohibition on nazi propaganda is already doing a lot of harm by being supported by overzealous politicians (according to the other post, more people should trust goverments to do the right thing - how can you think like this with the current political climate?!):

    Some ISPs in Dusseldorf were (are?) required to ban access to U.S. nazi pages. I'm sorry, but why do I need such a nanny state which prescribes what ideas (no matter how stupid and disgusting) I am allowed to see? What is so wrong being curious about the ideology of the neo nazis? If you want to fight them, how do you do that without knowing how they think??

    Do not even get me started on how those and other politicians try to suppress and censor even basic knowledge here in germany.

    And then there are the large religious pressure groups trying to implement (or extend already existing) 'blasphemy' laws (for example to outlaw mohammed cartoons).

    No, I like the idea of freedom of speech and more generally the principle of trying to extend the idea 'do not mess with other's private issues' as far as possible.

    That said, I still think that youtube as a private company has every right to constrain the set of videos they host.

    This whole discussion has me scratching my head. I can't find any reference to this alleged DNS-censorship that isn't online gossip. Nothing on an actual news site. I've found reports that German companies want to implement this kind of censorship and of course all these claims that they've already done it. But I just don't see it. Why isn't the German equivalent of the ACLU raising a stink? Why is there no actual news?

    Perhaps somebody who actually understands how DNS works could convince me this isn't just a black-helicopter urban legend. Until then, I'm inclined to put this with that guy that "proved" that whitehouse.gov was registered in the U.K.!

    The situation in Germany is this: Stupid-ass politicians proudly say of themselves that they did something against Neo-Nazis by denying access to information located in another country, falling under completely different laws. The German public should think: Wow, no Nazis anymore, thanks Mr Büssow! In fact the Nazis are still around and the Germans should be the only ones not to know about it. That's sick.

    Hi,

    today I had a phone talk with Christian Schreyer, the legal advisor of Deutsche Bahn.

    Deutsche Bahn will sue all, who create a mirror of this pages; if it's not possible sue them (e.g. free speech laws in the US or whatelse), they want to block the pages at the german access providers: There is a filter system in development, which will be able to block all unwanted URLs.
    The stalking-horse to establish these filter system (called "Filterpilot"), which uses a combination of routing and transparent proxying, are nazi websites. Denying holocaust is illegal in germany and there is a wide front against nazis; they use this to establish filterpilot at all border gateways.

    The district government of Düsseldorf, which is the outrider in the case of net censorship in germany, sais: "If we want to prohibit milk drinking, we have first test this with two milk bottles."

    It is naive to think, that "Filterpilot" will remain in Germany. It's a commercial development and not only in germany there are lot if interested organisations in such a filter: remember MPAA, IPFI, Scientology, ...
