German Justice Minister Asks Foreign ISPs To Block Neo-Nazi Sites.

Germany's Justice Minister is calling for Internet service providers in the U.S. and elsewhere to remove neo-Nazi images, text and other content that can be viewed inside the country in violation of laws forbidding any Nazi symbols.

It's doubtful, though, that Germany will have much luck persuading U.S. companies to remove material that is legal in the United States.

Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries said her office would appeal to foreign Internet providers to use their own terms of service as grounds for eliminating content promoting the far-right ideal.

"The general terms of service that they have issued themselves say that hate should be discouraged, so take things down that go against that," Zypries said.

A separate debate over Internet monitoring in Germany broke out last month as federal lawmakers approved legislation to allow Web sites containing child pornography to be blocked.

Using ideology or symbols from the Nazis is forbidden in Germany, but far-right groups that do not associate themselves with Nazis directly have more leeway. Stefan Glaser, spokesman for a youth-protection group called jugendschutz.net, said it catalogued 1,600 sites run by far-right extremists last year, and that the number was growing.

"The Internet has become the No. 1 propaganda platform for far-right extremists," Glaser said.

National laws routinely conflict over the borderless Internet.

France, too, has laws restricting Nazi symbols and paraphernalia, and it tried in 2000 to force Yahoo Inc. to prevent French Internet users from seeing such items on its auction pages. Although Yahoo eventually banned Nazi material, saying it did not want to profit from it, it continued to challenge the application of French law to the U.S. company.

  • I am not a neo nazi nor even close but I do know the truth of what the Jewish mouth peice in Washington (ADL and SPLC) are up to. Ive watched them a while. They use groups like neo nazis and KKK that "everyone" hates to create bandwagons while gaining more and more power by support of the people only to move closer and closer to the real target, christianity. If anyone even gives a damn to wonder how america has become so antichristian already well there you are.

  • Let em have free speech.
    But when they commit illegal acts of destruction or violence against innocents, make it legal to shoot the scum on sight.

    • i expected to see people here defending their free speech rights

      i believe free speech should be free until you start infringing on the rights of others to also have free speech. advocating that a person should be killed for expressing that they are gay, for example, means you should be in prison -- you just relinquished your right to free speech by threatening the free speech rights of other people

      one has to win out against the other. let the civil and good majority who isn't racist win agai More..

    • Bigotry in any form is detrimental to society. Makes no difference if it is based on race, religeon, or idealogy.

    • Wow, what a hypocrite! Free speech is an "all or nothing" deal. There's no buts, ands, or ifs included. I don't believe in or support the supremicist, but they do have a right to free speech (in America anyway) whether we agree with it or not. Just look up the Supreme Courts ruling on it. Better yet, read the Bill of Rights. Nowhere in this article did it say anything about threatening anyone's lives. They just want these sites shut down and the symbols to be removed. If the maj More..

    • Free speech is fine, there's nothing wrong wit it. Hell, we all have dissenting views to one extreme or the other.

      But the moment they take it too far and use violence to get what they want is the point they should be shut down and/or executed.

      Free speech is one thing but performing actions i s another.

  • free speech for all, hate speech for none

    your right to speak freely should be free until you threaten my life or someone else's life and our ability to speak freely

    free speech for all, hate speech for none

    • Now you're telling people that they can't hate? I can hate all I want. I can express how much I hate you, as much I want. I don't need your permission. That is my right. You are insane for wanting to limit free speech. Where does it stop? Who gets to say what? Let me guess, YOU will be in charge of what is censored, right?

    • you have no right to call for violence or murder to be committed against someone else because of their race

      if you're preaching to an audience of a few hundred people, every few days, that their race is superior and members of that audience begin assaulting and killing people for racial reasons YOU are also responsible

      YOU are standing in the way of other peoples' right to free speech and right to live in peace without terrorism

    • The biggest foreign investor in citi-bank one of the major banks tied into the Federal Reserve is a Muslim from Saudi Arabia. He owns about 10% of the shares.

      Those media companies are publicly traded companies. Presidents and CEOs of said companies are answerable to a board of directors always. Most of these major companies share are held by even larger companies like GE which is not controlled by a Jew.

      I could just as easily make a video that made it appear that the media is controlled by W More..

    • That is a white nationalist website.

      Why don't you start with the jewish pride or black pride websites ?

    • Same damn thing: white people wanting an all-white nation and to eliminate all the lying Jews, lazy Mexicans and thieving blacks. Of course white nationalists think they're better than Neo-Nazis because they don't shave their heads and are college-educated.

      They're just the same run-of-the-mill bigots, though. Garbage. I think the same about any racists: Blacks, Mexicans, Jews, or Asians. I haven't read any of the other supremacist website though, I just know what I've read on Stormfront d More..

    • the BNP (British Nazi Party) also believes that Britain should only allow white people. as much as the BNP wants to become mainstream they can't be because most people in Britain don't have that same level of racial hatred -- they have their prejudices, yeah, but we all do

    • I browse on that site and I have never seen anybody advocate any violence towards any identifiable group.

      Many of their established members speak out against it. They were not too pleased with James Von Brunn when he did his little stunt in Washington DC.

      If somebody who does not even have anything to do with their website breaks the law, they get blamed and they don't like it.

    • If you find any advocating for "Race War" like you often see on Stormfront, then by all means, take them down too.

      Groups who use the term "White Pride" usually have the least to be proud of.

  • The irony in trying to shut them down is that the free speech we give them would be taken away if they were actually in power. It is because of the power of free speech that these groups will never be more voices on the fringe of society. There will always be a stronger voice to balance reason against their insanity.

  • I can understand not allowing any type of organized Neo-Nazi movement or modern political party in Germany... but banning the swastika symbol and trying to pretend the Nazi flag never existed is odd to me.

    How can a symbol be made illegal without drawing even more undue attention to it? It makes it even more desirable for the mislead to brandish and display.

    If this made sense shouldn't the iron and sickle symbol of communism be banned also? No more Che shirts for the kids anymore either? Hell More..

  • I love how these countries think they can dictate to the U.S. what laws "need" to be followed. Kind of like Mexico telling us that we need to have stricter gun laws. Apparently they don't understand that they can't trample on American's constitutional right to free speech. The internet is like a megaphone for that. We can say whatever we want, and as long as we say it from waaaaaaay over here, they can't do shit about it.

    • I found out something I didnt know , beginning a few months ago. Germany is more jew controllled than america. There is a jewish group that basically runs the german government today but is not officially part of it. I forget the name but its easy to find. They even mentioned them in that very light in mainstream news during the Demnjanjuk deportation to Germany. They are more in control than even our jewish groups ADL and SPLC. They obniously do have influence here with help from the ADL as se More..
