Furthermore, sample news articles will be suject to detailed legal evaluation. Should this result in suspicion or proof of transportation of illegal contents, the ICTF can launch various steps to work against propagation of these contents. For example, it can arrange for blocking of complete newsgroups or retrospect "Cancel" of articles already transmitted.
Um. Does this ICTF understand the implications of sending forged cancel messages outside its own server, when the cancels are based strictly on disapproval of the content? Do they realize what the consequences will be for carriage of traffic from their node? Is Germany about to become known as "Cancelbunny Nation"?
