Stories About Appendicitis

Much ado about nothing?

I have twice in the past reports on the pros and cons of Internet censorship. The old Federal Government sought so under the banner of Ursula von der Leyen as quickly as possible to establish a censorship and control infrastructure.

Under the current coalition talks, the first is now off the table and Mrs. von der Leyen has had to take the first slaps of the FDP. Now the government requires the BKA what critics have demanded it from the start: Apply for the cancellation and not to worry the block child pornography.

Although the approach is to be in a year then tested again, but probably only to then wipe all the proposed legislation from the table without losing face.

Maybe also the percentage of votes scheduled for the Election (after all, 2%) showed that one was new media (for many politicians, the Internet is still new) can not work without expertise. Then, probably even asked someone who was familiar with the subject.
