Now that I have a (more or less) usable blog again, let's start with a major rant. ;)
DO NOT VOTE GRÜN OR SPD (and of course not CDU)!
Thankfully to the *censored* green party member (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) Matthias Güldner (Bremen) who disqualified not just himself but also the entire party with one swell swoop, the newly founded party "Die Piraten" will probably gain over 5% of the votes in the next national election in september. Read the wonderful quotes of Mr Güldner at Heise for details.
The Pirates have been founded as a reaction to the german family minister (Zens)Ursula von der L(ai)eyen's (heavy punning in the german blogospere, yes) now passed law to filter websites containing child pornography. Reminder: It's only just a "not showing" of the filtered webpage as child pornography is illegal anyway. Instead of the page, you'll get a (now very famous ;) stop sign. The federal police collects and assembles the filter list which has to be implemented by ISPs and everybody isp-like (universities for example) and is supervised by a group associated to the german federal privacy commissioner. Everyone can of course plainly use a different nameserver and circumvent censorship that way, but never mind..
As the german social democrats have already out-maneuvered themselves by supporting the web filtering law and the green also didn't look much better during the ballot (some didn't show up, several supported the filter and too few voted against it), they now discredited themselves completely.
Congratulations - I'll never vote you again. (And I've always voted green.)
That leaves us with the liberal FDP - and the Pirates.
And to the next fucking idiot who's (wrongly) suggesting that the Internet is a legal vacuum I'll feed the BGB (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch - civil law. Yeah, I know, child pornography is probably StGB, but BGB sounds better.. ;). It-is-not-and-never-was-stop-suggesting-otherwise.
As a reminder: Read Udo Vetter's lawblog posting about certain realities of child pornography.
Now I'm going to mail my local green chapter informing them about the loss of a voter of 20 years.
