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
<i>very</i> problematic to put some private company in charge to do this
censoring.<p>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 <i>only afterwards</i> a <i>court</i> 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.<p>Also: I’m pretty sad that gone mad „Asylkritiker“ are here too :(  I
always thought of hackernews as this little civilized island.
