The German Bundestag just waved through a law allowing the establishment of an internet censorship infrastructure in Germany. See [[http://netzpolitik.org/2009/the-dawning-of-internet-censorship-in-germany/|this english article by netzpolitik.org]] for an overview if you haven't heard yet what that whole Stop sign crap is all about.

Dear 389 delegates who voted "yes" on the ballot just now: Fsck you. Please go home and read the [[wpde>Grundgesetz]] again((especially article 5)) before you further try to participate in politics, thank you. I for one applied for membership in the German Pirate party just a few days ago, I've had it with you guys.

**Update** Addendum (in german):

<blockquote>
Artikel 5:

Jeder hat das Recht, ██████ ██████ ██████ ██████ , ██████ ██████ ██████ ██████ ██████ ██████ ██████ ██████ ██████ sich aus ██████ ██████ Quellen ██████ zu unterrichten. Die ███ █████████ ██████ Berichterstattung durch Rundfunk und Film werden gewährleistet. Eine Zensur findet ███ statt.
