Submission + - The Dawning of Internet Censorship in Germany

erlehmann writes: "This week, the two big German parties ruling Germany in a coalition have had the final talks on their proposed internet censorship scheme: Under the disguise of fighting child pornography, DNS queries for sites on a list shall be given fake-answers that lead to a site with a stop sign. The list itself is maintaned by the German federal police (Bundeskriminalamt).

German Blog Netzpolitik (literally "net politics"), details the history of the censorship plan and the protest movement that has formed over the course of several month. Over 128k citizens have signed a petition protesting the law, yet to no avail."
