Germany is like Hong Kong, Singapore or Korea the TOS says, so no naked women allowed. But the German Bloggers do not like it. Check out this list:

Yes, I guess it's the German law that they try to follow a little too ardently...
Google.de also censors sites like Youpron.com

heise: "Wenn Sie eine Yahoo-ID aus Singapur, Deutschland, Hongkong oder Korea verwenden, können Sie aufgrund der dortigen Geschäftsbedingungen die sichere Suche nicht abschalten."

No censorship in Ireland except words like "exstacy" in songs

Great job done turning away the German Flickr community, Yahoo. I wonder if they actually keep up this setting, or revert it in a couple of days.
