! (I also don't dislike Germans in general. I studied some German in high ! school--don't ask me to use it, though!--and have visited Germany. They ! just have a certain well-known tendency to take the authoritarian path at ! times.) Yes. How to get an anonymous Unix shell account in Germany, Singapore and the UK? Easy here, but is some *law* or custom in Germany to force ISP customers to show to demand passports or Germany's national ID card the citizens are forced to carry at all times under penalty of jail for the failure to do so? There's obvious reasons why I and Declan would like to get accounts anonymously. But I'd do it with my passport name if I am able to do so. Distributing censored information carries more of a political statement if conducted by those with accounts that are located in the unfree country itself. If something like Gerhard Lauck is practical proof, only those who intend to actually ever go to Europe or Asia in the status quo need worry about actually getting incarcerated for situationist anti-censorship activities. Who cares, I don't, personally.
