The Spreeblick, an oft-cited weblog here in Germany, is on strike today because the german government probably pass the internet censorship law today. Everybody’s invited to place a marker on a map to support the people moving against Internet censorship.

Besides that, things are getting worse here since the law’s text actually doesn’t refer to child pornography anymore, but rather to a list of websites being blocked by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). That means that there’s no appropriation anymore between blocked sites and child pornography and that anything could be blocked by the authorities without the knowledge of the people since the filter list is supposed to be confidential.
