German Parliament Enacts Internet Censorship Law

Posted by timothy on from the fuer-die-kinder dept.

TheTinyToon writes that by a vote of 389 to 128, "the proposed censorship law to block child porn has been passed by the German government. Not surprisingly, a member of the conservative party (CDU) announced plans to also check if the law could be extended to include so-called 'killer games' like Counterstrike, only two hours after the law was passed.

    I agree with you there, but fact is that most Gemans do not seem to actually look at German politics. Otherwise there should be a huge outrage against this scamming of the population. There is not. Reminds me of a situation some 70 years ago. Seems Gemans have a tendency to be sheep.

    My God!
    You are so logical, so correct yet somehow so disconcerting that i would admit you admire Dr.Goebbels' way of propaganda. Isn't it?
    (no, am NOT sarcastic or angry. Am just saying it because your answers seem to so casual, yet so cruel)
