Hamburg<\/span> –<\/span> On the website<\/span> of the German<\/span> Chaos<\/span> Computer Club<\/span>, there is no pornography.<\/span> The page<\/span> ccc.de<\/span> is used<\/span> as a mouthpiece<\/span> of the association<\/span>, whose members<\/span> have<\/span> already<\/span> advised<\/span> the Constitutional Court<\/span> and<\/span> the Bundestag.<\/span> You can<\/span> find out about<\/span> events such as the<\/span> turn of the year<\/span> pending<\/span> Chaos<\/span> Communications<\/span> Congress<\/span> in<\/span> Hamburg<\/span> there,<\/span> donate the<\/span> club magazine<\/span> “<\/span>Datenschleuder” or<\/span> subscribe<\/span> for<\/span> club<\/span> work.<\/span> Unless one<\/span> is British<\/span> and has its<\/span> Internet<\/span> access<\/span> provider<\/span>, Vodafone or<\/span> Three<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the UK,<\/span> new customers<\/span> will be asked<\/span> for some<\/span> time setting up<\/span> your Internet<\/span> access<\/span> if they really<\/span> want to<\/span> have access to<\/span> pornography<\/span>. They<\/span> deny<\/span> that<\/span> the default<\/span> porn<\/span> filter is activated<\/span>, which then<\/span> filters out<\/span> based on<\/span> black lists<\/span> offers from<\/span> the data stream.<\/span> For some<\/span> time there has been<\/span> criticism that<\/span> again and again<\/span> also<\/span> be<\/span> blocked<\/span> pages<\/span> that have<\/span> nothing to<\/span> do with<\/span> pornography.<\/span> In any case,<\/span> the<\/span> filter<\/span> has long since been<\/span> extended<\/span>: It<\/span> also be detected<\/span> thematic references<\/span> to<\/span> suicide<\/span>, guns and violence, gambling<\/span>, drugs, alcohol<\/span> and tobacco.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a<\/span> black<\/span> site<\/span> lists<\/span> the<\/span> pages<\/span> seem<\/span> ccc.de<\/span> and<\/span>, at the provider<\/span> Vodafone,<\/span> also<\/span> landed<\/span> yet<\/span> events.ccc.de<\/span>.<\/span> This<\/span> showed<\/span> regular<\/span> tests<\/span> carried out by the<\/span> organization<\/span> Open Rights Group<\/span>. Christian<\/span> Horchert<\/span> explained<\/span> by the CCC<\/span> on request<\/span> from<\/span> SPIEGEL ONLINE<\/span> that measure<\/span> one could<\/span> not explain<\/span>, “<\/span>but we will ask the<\/span> provider<\/span> why they<\/span> have done<\/span> and ask<\/span> to unlock<\/span>“.<\/p>\n

British<\/span> porn<\/span> filter<\/span> was<\/span> from the beginning<\/span> in the criticism<\/span> –<\/span> because of its<\/span> widespread use<\/span> and<\/span> the need to<\/span> explicitly<\/span> come out<\/span> as a potential<\/span> porn<\/span> consumer<\/span>, as well as because of the possibility<\/span> of<\/span> “over<\/span>-blocking”, ie an overly<\/span> rigid<\/span> filter<\/span> practice.<\/span> That of all<\/span> the pages<\/span> of the Chaos Computer<\/span> Club, which<\/span> has<\/span> always been committed to<\/span> network access and<\/span> against<\/span> filtering mechanisms<\/span> are now<\/span> on Over<\/span> Blocking<\/span> victims<\/span>, not<\/span> without a certain<\/span> irony.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
