RSSWikipedia (Germany) Sued For Talking About Nazism
Posted By: J.J. Jackson* on December 10, 2007
A politician from Germany’s Left Party has sued the on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia’s German-language site for allegedly promoting Nazism, the Internet blog TechCrunch reported Friday.
Katina Schubert’s suit accused Wikipedia of employing too much Nazi symbolism, the use of which - except for educational purposes - is forbidden under German law.
For Christ’s sake! Wikipedia discusses topics and provides information. I know that the era of Nazism is something that Germany would like to forget but it is history. That being said, Wikipedia has a habit of not being exactly the most well rounded source for knowledge on the net as people with their own slants on subjects regularly edit articles.
But good God! Get over it Germany.
