Dead or broken link: Censorship in the Federal Republic of Germany

The heading "Main article: Censorship in the Federal Republic of Germany" leads to an error message. --Catawba 05:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, none of the "Main Article" links lead anywhere; except for the one entitled "Censorship in Nazi Germany". --Catawba 05:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Index

Why is the paragraph about the Index written as if it was something of the past? It is still there, and damn annoying I might add. --Neg 12:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose it's because that section does refer to a specific past time period before reunification: "West Germany (1945-1989)". When you get to the section "After reunification (1989-present)", it's made clear that the index of "harmful materials" still applies: "Because Germany kept the West German constitution after reunification, the same protections and restrictions as in West Germany apply to contemporary Germany."

Prereading

Hi. First of all i'm sorry, my english is not as good as it should be. So I don't know what censorship means. German constitution say "Censorship doesn't happens.". This means that newspapers should not be read by any censores before it is sold. This doesn't protect you against beeing punished for doing things in the list. This is protected by the Freedom of Speech, same GG-article in the contitution but this can be restricted by laws (as the wiki-article shows). Isn't there a difference between censorshiping and restricting the freedom of speech in english language? --212.23.126.20 01:07, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S: This also means that a nipple-gate-law wouldn't be possible in germany --212.23.126.20 01:10, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mein Kampf

Actually, this book is not forbidden (it is not forbidden to own it or to sell old issues), but the bavarian government owns the copyright on it and doesn't allow new prints. --132.180.252.57 11:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
