German Government Tries To Censor Publication Of Its List Of Censored Websites | Techdirt
With its secret list exposed, the German government has gone after Neocities in a belated attempt to keep its no-longer-secret list secret. Neocities has complied, but not without protest. To begin with, it appears that there's very little effort being made to keep the blacklist current. That was done because recruiting and training "fresh" ones was too expensive and took too much time the allies in west germany thought was better spent on creating a model capitalist society as a showcase against the soviet Union.

The De-nazification was only done in homeopathic quantities with some scapegoats, not as a program as widespread as people were led to believe. Can search engines operating in Germany choose to ignore these restrictions without repercussions from the government?
The correct URLs without the trailing slashes won't match the hash and are not blocked. As a precaution the list has been removed. At no point does the mission statement encourage the stripping of anonymity or encourage censorship. On the BPjM list blackliat is a entryirgend.

The list is outdated and composed carelessly. And, if the statement about violating two countries' laws wasn't theoretically frightening enough, KJM goes on to claim that posting this content violates Neocities own mission statement.
The situation has gotten more relaxed sincewhen age ratings became binding except for parental guardians and in return anything which does have a rating cannot be put on the index any more.

Back to those URLs as long as you don't run some software that has a youth protection filter on it or enable youth protection from bpm ISP the only "censorship" is that they won't appear in search engines.
