Briefly about German web censorhip

Monday, January 25, 2010 at 17:42 | Posted in censorship, Freedom of speech, Germany, internet | 2 Comments

New regulations are being discussed (via @doppelfish) in Germany about mouth gagging free speech in the Internet. My brief photographic comment about the proposed measures is as follows:

Talking about ideas

This would be a pretty accurate description. I would indeed talk about ideas. That is if there are any around. And if I would like to talk at all.

You Love to Talk About Ideas

You like your conversations to be deep and meaningful. You are not a big fan of small talk.

You are open to all sorts of conversation topics, especially if they are unique or interesting. You love it when a conversation takes you somewhere unexpected.

You will talk about anything, even if it’s controversial or weird. You aren’t shy about speaking your mind.

You may shock people with what you’re willing to talk about, but at least it’s more interesting than discussing the weather.

Red love

You may think so but I could not possibly comment.

Your Love Is Red

When you love someone, your love is intense and dramatic. For you, love is passion.

You enjoy seducing someone and being seduced. You like feeling romantically overwhelmed.

You’re the type of person who loves whoever you want, and you’re often drawn toward forbidden love.

You are also stubborn about getting the person you’re interested in to fall for you. You love chasing after what you want.

Google are keeping their word

As Google announced yesterday they are no longer going to censor their search results at Google.cn. I can now present evidence that they are worth their word, regardless what the real reason behind their decision was and regardless that I still have trouble understanding that they agreed to censor the results in the first place:

Respect!

I am supposed to be sunset

This quiz says I am sunset. While that is often when I wake up (regardless of what time of the year it may be, hence anytime between 3 p.m and 11 p.m) I am not sure I would agree. However, the description is not totally wrong.

You Are Sunset
