The Caos Computer Club has a transcript of the letters sent to the ISPs by the Government. They demanded the blocking of:
front14.org,
stormfront.org,
nazi-lauck-nsdapao.com
for illegal nazi-content (which is illegal in Germany for historical reasons) and
rotten.com
As a site that uses pictures undermining the dignity of man and endangering the youth. I'd personaly - as a german citizen - prefer to see more money spent on media-education so people could make an informed decision about good and bad
links to follow than on this campaign that opens doors to censorship (which is against our constitution btw.)
In this Press-Release (german of course) the government claims that the ISPs efforts must have been effective because of all the e-mails they received from people complaining about this sort of censorship. I wonder how many consumers of Nazi-content are among those who (like me) protested against the governments course to violate some of our constitutional rights.
