Although I am not from the beginning had before on my blog to become political, I decided, in this particular case to deviate from my principles.
I think that all the word "censorship" is a term. And some will think of Article 5 of our Constitution, who says
(1) Everyone has the right to his opinion by speech, writing and pictures to express themselves freely and to disseminate and to inform himself without hindrance from generally accessible sources. Press freedom and freedom of reporting by radio and films are guaranteed. Censorship does not occur.
(2) These rights are subject to limitations in the provisions of general laws, legal provisions to protect young people and the right to personal honor.
(3) art and science, research and teaching are free. Freedom of teaching does not release from allegiance to the Constitution.
This law sounds of course. For who would want to have China similar conditions in Germany? But our zensurfreihes Germany is a very volatile planks.
early 2009 were reflected on the events. Family Minister Ursula von der Leyen, drove to a decision to block Internet sites containing child pornography (soon to be known as Kipo lock). Within a week the bill was worked out all right, ahead of the review.
This proposal stipulated that the BKA may, at its discretion Kipo pages on a blacklist and then it will be blocked by the respective provider. The banned sites are then to stop by the side of the Provider - And thus show signs provided on the Internet users that this site has been blocked. Furthermore, the IPs of users are stored. The second bill, which was followed a few days later, these IPs should be sufficient for an initial suspicion. This would have meant that those who come to such a site, whether by linking, pop - ups or the like, have a search warrant can be expected.
Now a stone set in motion. Frank Heine said the online petition: Internet - No indexing and blocking of Internet sites from 22.04.2009 to life. This petition was to get the target 50 000 votes, so that the government must deal with it. They then reached Incredible 134 015 making it the most successful petition in Germany has become.
then it is the first time become relatively quiet. Great events were no more. But then came the terrible news. 10.07.2009 The law passed to the Federal Power locks. Thus, from 1 August each provider which has over 10,000 customers required that he dated the BKA to lock certain pages. In this bill, the stored IPs, however, should not be used for law enforcement.
After this possible chronological sequence of events I will now introduce some facts and my opinion.
This Internet lock, which of course the theme Kipo lock running, has been enforced sent. Since the article excludes 5 the freedom from censorship to protect young people and any critics of this law can be immediately portrayed as a pedophile, there could be almost no opposition.
And many will probably think that they are willing to forego the protection of youth, for their own freedom. Including myself of course. However, one must look first confusion of which the children are protected. So, in fact. Von der Leyen wants to say that they pass through the censorship prevent an accidental on a website containing child pornography. If you look at this statement can melt in your mouth you realize if the joke in the matter.
Personally, I would call a very active user of the Internet, and I was never on a child porn site. Never. And if one takes a look at Joerg Tauss, which is now changed to Pirate Party (wodrauf I still get the same talk to), you realize that there is no child porn on the internet scene.
As a small digression: Jörg Tauss was not so long ago in the media on charges of child pornography to own and be active in the scene. This, he added. He tried to establish contact with this scene and it succeeded. However, he did so not because he is a pedophile, but because he does not trust the BKA and is specially wanted to get a picture of the situation. In his research he came up with no results online. He could not find any material on the Internet. He had to take first contact at the dealership to see the images to be exchanged for other goods. This was done through personal meetings, email or MMS.
an Internet lock to prevent children from child pornography to protect is already so ridiculous.
Then you should still accuse the kind of censorship. The German government prefers to force the provider to display a stop sign to side instead of the actual page. It raises, basically just a red cloth over the hole instead of the hole to seal.
The explanation why the pages were not deleted, only disabled it too great a burden would be to take the pages from the net. A test showed, however, a completely different result. After a round-mail to the hosting of the pages contained in the CRL was sent, after 12 hours were 60 pages taken from the network, the first reactions came after the first few minutes. These pages were written to all fully automated, so there was no major effort to pass as the blocking lists. 250 of the endorsed providers responded that they have reviewed the websites that only legal content found. This could be confirmed. The vast Most of the pages contained no child pornography material and otherwise no objectionable content. So you were completely wrongly on this CRL. In Finland, even blocked web sites that share a critical look at the system.
is thus clear it to make no great effort to clear the websites, respectively. Even as a child rape victim said that was the wrong way to intervene and requested a deletion. As already mentioned
not only Kipo pages are locked, but also many others. In Australia, for example, the Internet presence of a dentist is not available. This thus lost its existence. And in Germany, many sites are unrelated to child porn the hat on the lists. These include critical pages, right propaganda sites and information pages. So a page that has been speaking out against child pornography and wanted to warn people locked. Probably because they had the word "child porn" in the URL.
very questionable in this regard was that the BKA must inform the websites at the CRL. This means that there is no controlling body. The path to censorship of the Internet is thus given. If you look a more and more freedom is taken away. Eventually the majority will wake up to see the people and what happened. But then it's too late. A small example to limit of people would be the prohibition of e-sports event in Stuttgart, on which there would have been even an educational venue for parents. But apparently, keep to the individual citizen to be under age and must tell him what's good for him and what is not. After the ban in Stuttgart which was uttered after the accident followed Winnenden, mass imprisonment and other cities have modeled Lan - banned parties.
But in the end the most ridiculous part of the whole block. This lock can handle all Internet users with just a few clicks. The whole process takes a maximum of 5 minutes and then no one needs to concentrate more on the lock. How this can be found on YouTube is enough to.
in all we can say that this barrier only serves to criminalize the citizens. It has to set an example and use only pave the way for a total censorship that prevails in fact already by the censorship of the left side, etc.. Neither children nor protected the scene it is prevented from continuing her push to set.
But what can you do about it? Basically, we feel at the moment, powerless. The successful petition was disregarded and ignored dozens of demonstrations. What is happening in Germany? A government of the people is no longer.
The only way for us to defend the upcoming parliamentary elections. It is important right now to set an example and to choose not to monitor mania supporting parties like the SPD or CDU. After all, no member of these parties has opposed the adoption of the law. Everyone has voted in favor.
A party has distinguished himself in the fight against the surveillance particularly. It is on my blog for some time-present pirate party. What are the first sounds like a fun party is a very serious movement. To get more information about the party you can click on the banner at the top or the bottom click on the page. To again demonstrate the size of the party.
This European elections were the Pirates for the first time to vote. And reached 0.9% of the total votes cast. It is almost unbelievable that a party which is the first time for election, was able to get as many votes. I think that this party in Germany will play in the future a very powerful role.
This would probably the longest post I say goodbye.
The law must be approved by the way, even our President. He is the last chance the senseless surveillance mania to put an early end. As our President, however, even the retention nodded off I have no great hopes.
Stay Alert!
