Censorship in Germany

[quote=BlueArtist]Is the source genuine? However censorships like this aren't really outstanding, I mean many countries are trying to block off certain contents far worse than these.[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]Idk, most of the titles are really awkward to read to even take them serious :/ 'secret kraut url shitelist' - wat? xD[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=BlueArtist] Is the source genuine?[/quote] The one linked in my first comment is guaranteed to be as it's a fairly major publication, while the second one seems genuine, I don't know for sure. [quote]However censorships like this aren't really outstanding, I mean many countries are trying to block off certain contents far worse than these.[/quote] Well, one would think that Germany was one of the countries that is advanced enough to avoid such backwards politics.. [quote=emoriam] [url=https://netzpolitik.org/2014/liste-indizierter-webseiten-geleakt-bundespruefstelle-bestaetigt-netz-sperren-kritik-wie-overblocking/]Funny fake websites btw[/url] :p[/quote] What fake websites? Explain yourself. [quote=xIchi] Idk, most of the titles are really awkward to read to even take them serious :/ 'secret kraut url shitelist' - wat? xD[/quote] You're not even quoting properly.. Do you honestly even care? Because it doesn't seem that way. If I were a German I would be completely outraged right now. [b]It's YOU guys that need to stand up for your own rights[/b]. Outsiders can only do so much. Censorship is pretty much NEVER good, [b]especially not when the censorship is secret[/b]. We already see examples of misuse in the list, wouldn't it likely continue? [quote=Latest Legend] I don't particularly care whether it's effective or not, I think the basic idea that a government like Germany's decides to go (to such lengths) for censorship is something to think about for a moment.[/quote] Yes, omg yes. That alone is very scary.[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]well I typed it in, if you want to point out the typo, go ahead lol. I did not read either of the articles but what I guessed by looking over it is that neocities are being censored and journalist are being threatened for publishing child pornography to silence them? Edit: Also, if this was so outrageous major german websites would have published and spammed social media with this, as it is already readable on the websites you posted and germans can access that freely. And while we are at it, the british secret service has such a big influence, they can even alter the likes of a facebook post and other media shit etc lol Censoring history? Wat, Schrödingers List is being shown in TV every year, N24 and ntv are spamming WW2 documentations and views from all over the world. WW2 is also taught in all german schools - without any changes to make it less sad. I cannot look into the list, but germany also has the NDP which is a nazi group and gets a fair share of votes (tho not enough to do anything anyway).[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=xIchi] I did not read either of the articles but what I guessed by looking over it is that neocities are being censored and journalist are being threatened for publishing child pornography to silence them?[/quote] Mostly correct, but Neocities isn't censored, because they decided to remove the list.

You can start by sharing it with your friends.[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000][quote=Searz] What fake websites? Explain yourself. [/quote] The websites described in the article emoriam linked are pretty much the same as those from the article that lifebaka linked.[/quote]

[quote=BlueArtist]Please tolerate my ignorance/stupidity but I really neither see nor understand the issue here. What is so outraging? Censorship is so common and why does a "list" like this invoked the rage in you? [quote=Searz] Well, one would think that Germany was one of the countries that is advanced enough to avoid such backwards politics.. [/quote] On the issue of censorship in general and not just limited to Germany... the issue in Singapore right now (where I live, yes I'm asian hi) is that our National Library Board took down several children books that are deemed inappropriate because of the gay-related content (one is about two male penguins raising a baby penguin) and now there are a lot of criticism and rallies here. As far as I know the issue isn't known worldwide yet... Now would you consider that another advanced country that embraced the so-called "backwards politics"?[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=mastrer1000] The websites described in the article emoriam linked are pretty much the same as those from the article that lifebaka linked.[/quote] Doesn't address my question. Where are the fake sites? [quote=BlueArtist] Please tolerate my ignorance/stupidity but I really neither see nor understand the issue here. What is so outraging?

I would absolutely hate for this kind of politics to migrate to the EU. And yes, I would consider Singapore's censorship of gay literature to be almost equally outrageous. Not to mention the completely ludicrous anti-gay politics going on in Russia.[/quote]
