Hitler on Yahoo
from the it's-the-internet----it's-gonna-happen dept
Rumors swirled that copies of Mein Kampf were being sold on Yahoo's German auction site. Since Germany has very strict laws against this type of thing, the Munich state prosecutor is investigating. I'm Jewish. I find this type of material to be revolting. But guess what? That's life. We learn from our past and that's what helps us avoid repeating it. I'm not saying this stuff should be in circulation, but whether it's on the Internet or some other means it will be out there.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

censorship is censorship....
And why should Yahoo be the censorship-police for France or any other country? Let countries censor their own damn ideas.
