Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00718)

Wrong. The German government f.e. closes websites world-wide of German 
owners in the German language and which are politically not correct 
("racism", writing about the air raids on Dresden or such crimes), no 
matter were the server is located.

Also emails are checked systematically. There is a new act since Jan 01, 
2004 in Germany that all email providers with more than 1,000 customers must 
save every email coming in and out for three years, check them for forbidden 
contents and if so they must forward them to the authorities for further 
action. This costs the providers many millions and they get rid off it by 
charging the internet surfers with extra fees. That means that the victims 
have to pay Big Brother for their own suppression. Lenin would rofl.
