Peter, I cannot say that I am a supporter of the CDU but I have to point out that they are definitely not supporting the business of child abuse online or offline. This seems to be a little too much of a conspiracy thinking. And putting Hitler into this context is also far from reality. Sorry, but I have to state this because this kind of mixing up things gives a totally wrong picture of Germany for people living in other countries and probably trying to understand the discussion about the Internet filter going on in Germany.<br>
<br>There is definitely a problem with the lack of democratic control of the filter list and I also agree that we are having a problem with police activities against parts of civil society or social movements (or however they prefer to be called). And behind that there are often decisions made by the CDU. But that does not make them a totalitarian party. <br>
<br><br>Best, Daniel<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/6/17 Peter Dambier <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:peter@peter-dambier.de">peter@peter-dambier.de</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Aaron it looks great,<br>
<br>
because it keeps the business running.<br>
The things they "censor" earn a lot of money and are not allowed<br>
to get censored. So we build a fake filter for grandma and keep<br>
the business rolling.<br>
<br>
The real problem:<br>
<br>
The fake filter keeps grandma from seeing what she does not want<br>
to see and keeps her from calling the police.<br>
<br>
Internet researchers have shown it is easy to close those sites.<br>
An email or a phone call can do - but that would destroy business.<br>
After all the CDU is business oriented.<br>
<br>
We are very much afraid of what the CDU is doing right now.<br>
The CDU used to be the "Zentrum" or the center party and they<br>
helped install what Hitler later on used to censor.<br>
<br>
The "censoring" they are going to install can censor anything.<br>
They guy who is feeding the filter is not controlled by anybody<br>
and leaks found of other filters show that 90% of the things<br>
filtered is just filtered for fun.<br>
<br>
Closing your eyes does not help you avoiding a thunderstorm.<br>
<br>
There have been police raids with thousands of homes searched<br>
here in germany and nobody was found guilty. Servers from the<br>
pirates party have been taken and nothing has been found.<br>
<br>
Sites were down and people are still regarded as guilty by<br>
their neigbars. Looks very much like NAZI germany.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
Peter (german pirates party)<br>
