You guys surprise me, how is this news? Western societies are supposed to be liberal, how exactly would one be responsible of what other guys do? How about open Wifi in hotels or restaurants? I am not surprised provided what I hear you say, that Bulgaria (where I live in) has the best internet connection in the world. If you think I am joking - Google it. What the title says is sheer stupidity and makes absolutely no sense - and insult to intelligence.

  Well, I am glad they are moving over. Technically, it would be very hard to find people responsible for open Wifi in, for example, a hotel. Who would be responsible if Osama Bin Laden browsed something that is illegal? The hotel owner, the staff, the internet provider? And how about if the hotel is owned by a public company? The shareholders? Just bullshit.

    That's why the wifi isn't open in German hotels, instead you get a login specific to your room.

      And that is why this is bullshit, because, if I want, I switch to mobile roaming for the price of one beer. You cannot stop me with bullshit like that, if I want to do something that they think is illegal. And not only that, I can buy an anonymous SIM card, if I want. What exactly are you saying, you are defending this stupidity? What else are you defending, if someone uses Facebook or Whatsapp for terrorism, you gonna shut them down. Please.

        I think you will not be surprised to read that they are trying to outlaw anonymous SIM cards ... http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/prepaid-sim-regierung-will-anonyme-handy-karten-verbieten-a-1087295.html http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/prepaid-sim-regie...
