Stopp?
Posted by coldtobi | 22 Jun, 2009, 19:13The stopp sign is to show protest against the latest censorship laws passed the Bundstags this week.
The law claims honerable goals. But the at the same time it is unsuitable to reach its goal. In medicine, you would call it placebo.
The only goal is might acheive is, that it will open Pandora's box of censorship.
The maxime must be "deletion over blocking".
That this fear is not fiction showed the comments from some politicans, demanding that the law also should be applied to other topics as well: killer games and gambling. At that point, only some hours have passed.
By the way, the are ignoring more than 130000 citiziten daring vote for the fears in the most successful (online) petition forever.
By the way -- the stopp sign will only appear every five days. If you want to see it again, just delete all cookis of this domain, or open it in another (brand) of browser.
