Today, the German federal cabinet passed a new law to filter websites based on a secret list compiled by the Federal Criminal Police Office. The Federal Ministry of Family Affairs communicates the law as a remedy for the prevention of child pornography. While we strongly support any attempt to stop the abuse of humans and children in particular, we doubt that this is the real reason for the law.

For months, experts of all fields have impeached the facts and figures that were communicated by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs as well as the technical implementation of the filtering process. We mistrust the planned non-transparent process, we regard it as ineffective and amateurish and we believe it is counterproductive and a possible threat to democracy.

Since illegal sites on a list must be known beforehand, we urge the government to shut those sites down and prosecute the operators of those sites.

In times of a nationwide election campaign, we regard political populism as highly inappropriate when it should be about the fight against the abuse of minors.

Who would have thought that all these Science-Fiction movies about a total-control-government would some day become true. It’s sad, very sad that Germany is turning more and more into a state of total control. It’s almost like China and Great Britain combined.

Shivers me, it really does.

I mean… you know? There are idiots all over the world, but if we would give up everytime some idiot ruins us, or everytime some idiot spreads bad rumors about you and talks bad about you behind your back… Seriousely, there wouldn’t be so many people on this world. But how can you convince someone to not give up? Everyone knows that, if you are mad and/or sad about someone you really feel that you are right about everything, that all the choices you are doing ARE the right ones, that everything you are going to do is correct. But… not every solution is the right solution. Maybe this gets this friend of mine out of this situation quickly (and indeed, it does); but there are so many other options to choose from. Just to stand up and fight for your right, clear up things, correct those rumors – Whatever.

But giving up… that so totally is NOT the right choice. Sometimes you really have to get over your prejudice of thinking that those people who belive these rumors can’t be convinced to not belive them. My friend, has friends, including me; and I’d do what I can, what I could if just my friend wouldn’t give up.

Hell, how do I solve that problem?

Well, anyway: An intresting video for you:

Sorry for bothering you.
