I think circumscribing would be a better choice of word here:
"...without introducing a censorship architecture and circumcising constitutional freedoms."
The translation is fluent, and I shouldn't make fun of it, but that line made me laugh.
On a more salient note, it's good to see that these proposals are not proceeding without public notice. It's hard to fight the "FOR THE CHILDREN!" brigade, but fortunately the Germans are having the debate openly, paying at least lip service to constitutional process.
- voidpointer 17y agoThe for-the-children brigade has been using its scheme for ages now and it is still working. It seems to me that for such a well known strategy an effectve counter-strategy should have been devised over the years. Yet, it seems to work very well every time. Can anyone point us to some material about this strategy in general, what counter-moves have been tried and how they worked out in the past?
