Wat?
Yes, the search-results.

Never heard of that topic in Germany. Should I? Could you summarize please because I don't understand most of it :o
Germany is censoring search results and sites that contain anything nazi or child pornography related and seems to be trying to censor criticism toward and leaks regarding their censorship. They don't want the public to know about this censorship.
The German government say that they're censoring lists of censored sites because they allow the links to get out.
They're using censorship as an excuse for censorship. Possibly a teeny-tiny bit idiotic..

So the only issue know is that no one is aware of these methods in particular or rather that content gets censored that shouldn't get censored?
Both.

Like the game mentioned in the article, those were placed on the Index list aviable for publicity.
I'll assume you meant "publicly", not "publicity"..
Why would they try to censor something that has been available publicly? That makes no sense, you're probably thinking of something else.
"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache†and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

So this is weird, in no small part because I don't think the BPjM really knows what the hell it's doing. This has a longer explanation of some of the silly stuff on the list, as well as a few reasons why it's basically ineffective at even doing its job in the first place. The pastebin linked there further reinforces some of the silliness, as well as explaining how to obtain the hashed list and from it generate a cleartext version.
Also, seriously, they were using MD5 and expecting it to be secure through magical secrecy?

I think it's kinda weird if they (Kjm) restrict the action of a netpolitician website because they published these lists using the argument that they were about "sharing child pornography" even tough it was a list of demoted links (this website, in German tho).
Funny fake websites btw :p

Woooow, it's just getting worse. I seriously hope no media site/journalist will comply with this.
Thanks for the link.

This a ****ing disgrace. Get your **** together Germany. This is not an age of censorship.
On a somewhat related political note: I really wish Sweden would stop being so ****ing scared of inducing the wrath of Mr.Murica. Literally the only political party that dares to oppose the US' spying is the Pirate party. Well at least now I know which party to vote for.
