Posted-Date: Thu, 28 Dec 1995 11:47:57 -0500 From: Jack Rieley <ranjak () interport net> To: "'Dave Farber'" <farber () central cis upenn edu> Dave, The German government's action forcing CompuServe to ban access to some 200 newsgroups does not even reflect German law. Among the banned newsgroups are those providing Clarinet feeds on news affecting gays and several gay discussion groups. Worse still, the Germany's action is not limited to these newsgroups on CIS nodes inside the Federal Republic of Germany: the German government successfully demanded that the groups be banned throughout the entire CIS worldwide network. This chilling action and CompuServe's willingness to accede to Germany's muzzle on free speech, recalls previous bans by a previous German government and the willingness by some, back then, to willingly collaborate with such bans. It is a reprehensible action that goes far beyond anything that even the extremist right has been able to accomplish in the United States. It is worthwhile noting that pornography that does not depict children is legal in Germany. It is found on newsstands and in sex shops throughout the country.
