tbh, having read the draft, I am still not clear whether running a node/the browser is to be made illegal.
that's what the Zeit article says, too: the worst interpretation is, yes it will be made illegal. another, more benevolent reading is that there should be harder punishments for providing a concrete platform for illegal activities.
so how can you make a draft that is so vague? make no mistake, this is not incompetency. as per Zeit, and I agree, this is intentional to scare those who run the browser/a node.
also, consider Günter Krings' proposal to make the entire 'dark web' illegal. his reasoning: that an open democracy has no need for such a structure. so, because germany is an 'open democracy', he thinks germany can abolish the open internet altogether?
eidt: word.
- mr_toad 8y ago> that an open democracy has no need for such a structure Because democracies can never become totalitarian states. Kring doesn’t seem to have a firm grasp of the lessons of history.
