[governance] The dawning of Internet censorship in Germany

[Nyangkwe Agien Aaron]

I just read this and found it interesting for the caucus group.

Quite a great move by the German authorities aimed at securing responsible
youth hood.

============================================================


"Germany is on the verge of censoring its Internet: The government - a grand
coalition between the German social democrats and conservative party - seems
united in its decision: On 18 June 2009, the German Parliament is to vote on
the erection of an internet censorship architecture.

The Minister for Family Affairs Ursula von der Leyen kicked off and led the
discussions within the German Federal Government to block Internet sites in
order to fight child pornography. The general idea is to build a censorship
architecture enabling the government to block content containing child
pornography. The Federal Office of Criminal Investigation (BKA) is to
administer the lists of sites to be blocked and the internet providers
obliged to erect the secret censorship architecture for the government".
