Zypries: Web blocks cannot be activated on a contractual basis - political summer theater. As if Zypries had any problems trampling our fundamental rights. The fact that the populism show was started by the Union without any value at all does not suit her.
bananenrepublik - 25.7.2008 - 8.8.2009
Von der Leyen wants to tackle right-wing content on the net - nonsense from Berlin. The opponents of the ineffective Trivial Blockade have indeed recipes against child pornography on the internet, as Alwar Freude has proven with his "Now let's write to the providers and take sites offline". But concrete activities are not compatible with the populism program of a learning-resistant incompetence (some call it also Federal Minister).
European elections: Debacle for the SPD - to the SPD's fools: if you ever come up with the innovative idea of actually running a European election campaign for the European elections, you might accidentally get a few votes. But by now, one gets the feeling that you don't even want any votes. Scared of the possible responsibility? Okay, you don't really have much left to lose anyway ...
AK deletes 60 child porn sites in 12 hours - and why can't our Ursula do that?
Federal incompetence and wobbly dachshund - "In view of the 'numerous violations of intellectual property on the Internet', the minister also wondered whether, for example, stronger regulation of the network is necessary. This will certainly 'occupy politics for the next few years', what will follow from the planned blocks of child pornographic pages 'will follow', she did not completely rule out an expansion to illegal offers of protected works" - oh, first she warned about the evil Zensursula, and now she is already tipping over in exactly the direction she warned about. What was that about the desires that are awakened? They seem to have been awakened in her. As could generally be expected from the prolethicians in Berlin.
Search of forum operator's home unlawful - "The mere fact that third parties may offer links to pirated copies in an internet forum does not yet justify a search of the operator of this forum." - says the Federal Constitutional Court. Which is also logical, forums are usually not operated from home computers, but from servers. But apparently some of the overzealous "law enforcers" still don't understand this ... (and again, why does the Federal Constitutional Court constantly have to protect us from things that should be clear to any half-witted person?)
Von der Leyen: Only skilled users can bypass blocks - so everyone except politicians.
Surveillance mania and internet censorship - "If the law comes into force as planned, however, every internet user should carefully consider whether they still want to visit unknown web addresses. If one were to accidentally or provoked by malicious hints to a stop sign, then de facto a house search or worse would threaten. Staudigl also confirmed this: 'Whether and possibly who has committed an offense can regularly only be clarified through the subsequent criminal investigations.'" - because, after all, we live in a democratic legal state, not in a banana republic where the state can assume what it wants without control by the citizen and where citizens then simply feel the full force of the power apparatus due to technical proto-indicators. Or maybe not?
Federal government wants to block internet access with access controls - I'm already looking forward to the first trojan, or the first XSS attack, which will then call up sites from the block list in the background. Or how about HTML emails that refer to images on blocked pages? You can definitely get a lot of suspects that way ...
wikileaks-Kram doch etwas anders als ursprünglich behauptet - as it turns out, the problem seems to lie somewhere between the domain owner and the operator. Or with both. Or between the ears of one of the two. Or both. But probably not with DENIC.
Müntefering expects state participation in Opel - isn't it cute how they're hesitating to do exactly what they once railed against?
Preemptive obedience at DENIC - because, the police and surveillance state must be implemented. Think of the children! And protect us from terrorists! How, and incidentally, sensitive documents about sloppiness in voting machines are also blocked? Extremely convenient!
Head-shaking stimulus from Karlsruhe (only Regional Court) - so indirectly Google also becomes criminally liable because they also refer to Wikileaks. And thus everyone who refers to Google as well. And in general, everything is criminal. Probably another case of stupidly vague laws and judges overwhelmed by new technologies.
Telekom will iPhones Skype-frei halten - of course. Naturally. It's only because the voice quality could be worse than in the T-Mobile network. Logical. I mean, everyone immediately believes that Deutsche Telekom only doesn't accept VoIP and IM for the iPhone because of the quality. Users must be protected from the terrible quality! How stupid do they think we are at Deutsche Telekom?
Sweden's police: Child porn filters are not very effective - will the prolethicians and populists in Berlin now pick up this statement as quickly as they used the Swedish block list as a model example for their silly censorship action?
BKA witness lies (badly) about forged files - at annalist. Go read.
wikileaks und die Sperrlisten - was obvious, right? Does anyone really believe it's only about blocking child pornographic content? Wikileaks will probably soon appear on the block list as well, just like other undesirable sources on the net.
Coalition to soften plans against data misuse - because, one must continue to support the address freeloaders so that their absurd business model (selling addresses and then flooding mailboxes with trash that nobody needs) continues to work.
Government wants to accelerate the expansion of online searches - of course, the lying pack in Berlin doesn't stick to what they themselves have said. Why bother. And constitutional concerns? Then the crazy wheelchair user will complain again about the Federal Constitutional Court for interfering. Meanwhile, the Federal Constitutional Court has been the only thing protecting us from the Berlin proletarians for quite some time.
Pig farming next to state guests - fits perfectly. One pig farming facility next to the other!
Broadcast time restrictions for erotic content - if I shook my head as much as I would have to with such crazy things, I would have whiplash now ...
Admits own investigations into child pornography scene - "Tauss justifies his own activities as an investigator by claiming that as the responsible expert politician in the Bundestag, he was authorized to conduct such research. He could not trust the Federal Criminal Police Office as the responsible authority, as the BKA also uses the issue of child pornography to push through new competencies and responsibilities for surveillance politically." - the whole thing sounds so absurd, it could well be true ... (on the other hand, it is of course also a very convenient explanation)
Putting Schäuble under surveillance by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution - because quite obviously he is rather opposed to the constitution (and the separation of powers laid down therein).
Federal Constitutional Court rules against voting computers - a victory of reason over the penny-pinchers at the ballot box. Yes, it may be true that elections are expensive to conduct. But if we throw the principles of free, democratic and verifiable elections overboard just because a few euros are involved, we might as well do away with the whole state. It's a shame that in recent times, the Constitutional Court has generally had to put a stop to the madness from Berlin. One would actually think that these prolethicians in Berlin, who have to swear an oath to the constitution when they assume their ministerial offices, would actually know the constitution ...
Union wants to have children monitored as well - it's not about countering terrorism, but solely about establishing a surveillance state while no one is looking or the opportunity is good. The goal of a surveillance state is to secure the state as an apparatus, not the citizen. Usually, this becomes "necessary" when the state leaves the framework of the democratic rule of law, or plans to do so.
CDU: Opponents of Internet Blocking Promote Child Pornography - sensationalist polemic instead of arguments. And all just to show absurd activism because elections are coming soon. Does anyone seriously believe that the prolethicians in Berlin care about protecting children?
Wikipedia shut down - great, another bunch of people (at least the member of parliament and the judge) who don't understand the internet. Couldn't the judges just burst out laughing when they receive requests to block wikipedia.de and fine the applicant for mocking the court?
SPD rebels make Ypsilanti fail - because, Koch as Prime Minister is so much better than being tolerated by the Left. After the nonsense in Schleswig-Holstein, I actually thought the SPD would be rudimentarily capable of learning from such debacles, but the stupidity and ignorance of some prolethicians are simply boundless. Class strategy, this way you can keep spouting nonsense and always just pretend to be seriously interested in taking responsibility someday. And meanwhile, a documented right-winger can laugh into his corrupt fist.
Richter: Wahlcomputer insecure - "Several judges criticized on Tuesday during the oral hearing of the court in Karlsruhe that with the current systems neither the correct storage of the votes cast nor their counting can be controlled." - what is so hard to understand that Prolethikers still argue against it?
Bundestag's election inspector calls voting computers secure - why are our politicians always struck by particularly great stupidity? Isn't Hansel even able to read current press, where even in the USA states are backpedaling on the topic of voting computers, where the manufacturers of these devices had to take such massive image losses that one even changed its name? Not to mention all the incidents in Europe and the good coverage of the topic by the CCC? Are only dumb idiots getting jobs in the government? Shouldn't the protection of one of the most important democratic means - for the politicians: I'm talking about elections, not about the allowances - be particularly worthy of protection and in case of concrete indications of insecurity, rather play it safe and go with paper+pen?
Ackermann warns against enemies of the market economy - this big-headed talk - meanwhile, the current great market economy only consists of a collection of "give me too, give me too" shouters after state grants. What does this have to do with the market economy? In a real market economy, idiots like Ackermann would now mercilessly economically perish from their documented incompetence. Only because, amusingly, the CDU has become the pioneer of socially tinged state subsidies for stupid bankers, they are saved from ruin.
Report: Digital police radio reaches only 3 KBit/s - insert roaring laughter - People, even GPRS is faster, and that wouldn't have required expensive new development. What kind of idiots are sitting at the decision-making tables? And which providers are so brazenly stupid to pull off such a stunt with taxpayer money? I mean, it takes two to tango - the dumb politicians and senior officials who let themselves be fooled - but also the company from the "free market" that has no qualms about ripping off the state for money for junk.
The Schräuble again - "The State Security of the GDR had several hundred thousand employees, made people spy on each other, and created an 'atmosphere of fear.'" - doesn't even know what he's complaining about, it fits ... (okay, there's still some catching up to do in terms of denouncing, but we'll manage that). The biggest alarmist is the wheelchair user himself, who, without any real verifiable facts, invents all sorts of threat scenarios and then solves them by hollowing out the Basic Law. And thus poses a far greater danger to the constitution than the terrorists who were recently arrested in such an advertising-effective manner (and then released again due to a lack of anything concrete).
SAP will sparen - tjaja, does anyone remember the whining of the business administration students at SAP, how terrible the interference of the union would be and that it would be impossible for a few troublemakers to push through a works council election, because SAP is so great and a works council would be so stupid and all that blahblah?
Government supports banks with up to 400 billion euros - Money for social benefits? Forget it, we need to have a balanced budget! Money for incompetent bankers? Of course, how many hundred billion shall it be?
T-Mobile Board Calls Own Corporation a Mess - "At Vodafone, former Federal Family Minister Renate Schmidt is to serve as an ombudswoman to improve customer data protection and compliance with regulations. The SPD member of parliament will be available as a contact person for employees at Germany's second-largest mobile network operator starting in November if they are confronted with legally or ethically questionable matters or even suspect violations of the law," the company announced in Düsseldorf." - huh? Politician as an ethical advisor? Goat? Gardener?
Report: Erotic entrepreneur stores T-Mobile customer database - the whole thing is getting more absurd and strange. Although admittedly, storing the 17 million Deutsche Telekom data sets with an erotic entrepreneur has a certain charm. Especially since he probably knows more about data protection and securing customer data than Deutsche Telekom apparently does ...
OLG Hamburg: RapidShare is liable as a co-contributor for copyright infringements - new from the Internet's nutty ideas. "RapidShare could, for example, exclude the use of its own service with dynamic IP addresses and require users to use static IP addresses without the intervention of a proxy server." - clear, because there are also rows of static IPs for users with dynamic dial-up. Here the donkey is kicking the camel: Rapidshare is anything but rapid if you are not already registered, and IMO really dispensable. Just like the opinion of the OLG Hamburg on various Internet topics.
17 million customer data stolen from T-Mobile - bad enough that so much data is circulating without the public knowing for 2 years. Embarrassing, however, is also the reaction of the press: the few celebrities stand out barely, with 17 million, but apparently they are much more important ...
Betrayed and sold - how was it again, Mr. Schäuble? Are the data safe with the state?
Hypo Real Estate: Taxpayers step in to fill the gap - sounds all incredibly professional again ...
AK Vorrat publishes secret data exchange agreement - with what our politicians are doing and how they trample the constitution and civil rights, we don't even need terrorists anymore. Soon politicians can justify any nonsense by referring to the nonsense of their predecessors. Recursive dumbing down. And who did it? The crazy wheelchair user and the federal incompetence.
Confidentiality, integrity and verifiability - with whom? - "Private service providers are to join forces to form a network of certified citizen portals, which is to be financed either by savings in the economy and administration, for example by eliminating the need to send invoices, or by an "E-Porto". - thanks, but no thanks.
Million blunder: KfW transfer to bankrupt bank Lehman - somehow the bank crash is turning into a blunder crash. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to throw another 300 million at a bankrupt bank? "By accident"? "Technical defect"?
Bund buys back Bundesdruckerei - and why did the complete idiots in Berlin take 8 years to have these security concerns? What was all this nonsense for - apart from pumping huge profits into the coffers of Apax, who got their purchase price back with the refinancing?
Copyright infringement: Courts set low threshold for information claim against providers - "If other courts follow this extremely broad interpretation of 'commercial scale', it is to be expected that the civil courts will then be confronted with the same flood of applications that law enforcement agencies are currently confronted with." - well, that was to be expected. So once again, only hope remains for Karlsruhe and a somewhat more reasonable basic decision.
Deutsche Bahn raises ticket prices by 3.9 percent - particularly cute the "service surcharge": anyone stupid enough to join the 5 km long queue in front of the only one of 10 open counters at the station, after 2 hours of waiting behind a stinking fellow human with flatulence finally gets a bad-tempered railway employee, whom he then has to explain laboriously where he wants to go - and then gets the most expensive fare selected in a targeted manner, well, now he has to pay a service surcharge for this preferential treatment. So that the railway can be dumped on the stock exchange.
Dealing with Resident Registration Data: The Shadow Registration Offices - how was that, Mr. Schäuble? "The data is safe in the hands of the state"? And of course, anyone who thinks differently is just a paranoid?
Federal Audit Office criticizes work of job centers - and surprisingly finds exactly what everyone with common sense has already said: that 1-euro jobs bring nothing and that reorganizing from poor counseling at the employment office does not automatically make for good counseling at the job center ... but will our politicians learn from this? No, certainly not.
