According to that list, in Germany unannotated editions of Mein Kampf are still banned.

- fvdessen 3mo agoThat's not true at all, for example in Belgium, any book that discredits genocide, incites to racial hatred, or shows sex with minors is banned from sale and/or possession. Then there's also moral rights infringement, such as obscene parodies of Tintin, books explaining suicide methods, etc, etc.
