As reported today, Google, Yahoo and MSN (Microsoft) do not list internet addresses that are banned by the "Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien (BPjM)". This is based on volunteering, no goverment decided that. |
hey corsin, do you have a linky ? |
A report of this in German is here, and some other places... http://de.internet.com/index.php?id=2041463§ion=Marketing-News
Apparently, the decision of Google and others to voluntarily self-censor in Germany (based on the list of the BPjM) goes back to February last year. Stormfront and others have been censored for a longer time, though. Maybe the new BPjM-triggered self-censorship is just expanding, as the cases of Ogrish.com and others show. |
