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.

    Stupidity reigns.

    I for one refuse to welcome our new censorship enforcing overlords.

    It makes me sick. It seems that Western society is rapidly descending into despicable mutating police states.

    The golden era is over. We're all doomed.
