I disagree. The law in most countries already allows for prosecution for services that exist primarily/solely to aid in the commission of crimes. For example, torrent websites are periodically taken down and seized based on laws around conspiracy to commit copyright infringement.
Therefore, the law already allows websites or services to be shut down if their primary purpose is to enable illegal behavior. The Silk Road is a perfect example of this. They were basically and eBay for drugs and other things. While they didn't actually possess or sell the drugs themselves, no one anywhere considered the site to be legal.
- filmor 8y agoWhat do you disagree with? Apparently, what you list here is not yet true for Germany's law.
- turc1656 8y agoI was disagreeing with the stated use of the law that the OP claimed. I was saying that I am pretty sure all developed countries have laws that already serve the stated purpose, thereby negating the need for this. I did some quick searching and found this: https://www.dw.com/en/german-authorities-target-illegal-file-sharing-site-in-large-scale-operation/a-41327847 https://www.dw.com/en/german-authorities-target-illegal-file... That shows that Germany can already prosecute nefarious sites which may even have legitimate purposes (i.e. "file sharing") but are used predominantly for illegal purposes. Thus, the need for this saw seems suspect.
