German site wikileaks.de suspended – Censorship!
On April 9th 2009, the domain registration for the website Wikileaks.de was suspended by DENIC, Germany’s registration authority, without prior notice.
On March 25th of 2009 the German government introduced a nation-wide internet censorship system. This gave them the ability to shut down internet sites that they did not agree with or thought needed to be removed from view. Australia and Germany are the only Western democracies publicly considering such a mandatory censorship. The system is much like the censorship that takes place in mainland China and is ridiculed by free countries around the world. Will the loss of freedom ever end?
