Even More Restriction For German Internet

tikurion writes "It's only been a few weeks since the law dubbed Zugangserschwerungsgesetz (access impediment law) was passed in the German Parliament despite over 140,000 signatures of people opposed to it. The law will go into effect in mid-October 2009. Now Minister for Family Affairs Ursula von der Leyen implied in an interview that she is planning on extending the reach of the law, claiming '...or else the great Internet is in danger of turning into a lawless range of chaos, where you're allowed to bully, insult, and deceive limitlessly.'

...how long the New Germany would survive before starting WW-3.
Germans are a technically Gifted race, who are experts in high technology and quality of workmanship and take pride in what they do.
They are also extremely paranoid, (putting to shame North Irelanders), and always have preferred Control and Order over Chaos and Freedom.
They would have gladly given Bill Gates the key to Internet if he had created Microsoft in Germany.
Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer
has always been their slogan. Its in their genes to control everything. Which is why trains in Germany run on fanatically accurate schedules like 8.32:35 AM and why cops actually are respected by even thugs.
Now, it has been proven.
Inspite of heavy opposition to people's will, the so-called politicians have passed a law that Cheney would be salivating for.
Heil Hit...
