Re:German government to use Trojan spyware to monitor citizens by hansen on Tuesday February 23, 2016 @11:57AM (#11160286)
I cannot stand these racist morons myself. And a lot of what I have seen in the last months clearly violates German law. But I think it’s very problematic to put some private company in charge to do this censoring.

The “no censorship (with some exceptions)” law in our constitution is usually interpreted in the sense that you can say, write, show, publish anything you want and that only afterwards a court can rule that it’s violating some law and censor it („Verbot der Vorzensur“). This principle is turned upside down when the government demands that private companies do the censoring and all public oversight is lost.

Also: I’m pretty sad that gone mad „Asylkritiker“ are here too :( I always thought of hackernews as this little civilized island.
