German internet to be restricted to 6:00 to 22:00

Is this something else designed to stop another Hitler coming to power. :rolleyes:

How would restricting the internet overnight stop another Hitler? Unless he's nocturnal ^^

As for the source, I'm working on it but it's starting to sound more like a Chinese Whisper situation.
 
I don't really see the issue in principle TBH. Although a blanket ban is quite extreme.

Perhaps this would be better if regulated per ISP. In particular I could see this as quite an attractive proposition for a family who could chose an ISP with filtering capabilities etc.
 
With regards to a source, it's pretty poor, a few quotes which translate to certain ISP's operating only during daytime, and other censorship laws supposedly being brought in. But it's all on German wordpress blogs and shoddy looking news-pages. Nothing concrete.
 
Seems a tadge unlikely to me.

Hell, there are quite a few MMOs who have their EU servers located in Germany (usually around Frankfurt), would this mean then that those MMOs wouldnt be available for anyone in the EU to play on unless its between 6am and 10pm?
 
You friend is probably misinterpreting an ISP's decision to move download limits within certain hours. Can't really say for sure without source.
 
lol

Just a heads up, Panorama are looking at proposed changes to UK laws regarding the internet. Monday night, 8:30pm, BBC1.

The Government here hate us using the Internet to expose their general incompetence. Thus the Internet will be switched off from 00:00 to 23:59 for your safety to protect you from Terrorism and pedophiles.

Wouldn't surpise me. That will be NuLabours next move no doubt, just before the GE too ;)

Although what do you expect when 9/10 of the worlds populations will just lie down and take whatever is aimed at them.

Its quite frankly, pathetic.
