Off-topic and a bit late to the party, but I feel like I need to chime in...
jonwil: I got a question for those in here who are from Germany. How much support among the German population at large is there for maintaining the strict censorship?
That's not how things work in Germany. The German's defining trait is his complete and utter obedience and servitude to those in power. So, if the government wants to push draconian censorship on its people, you'll have two kinds of reactions: Those who approve, who will go "The government knows best! Ban this filth!" (a sentiment that - at least back in the 90s up until the mid-2000s - was fueled by the partisan reporting both in sensationalist rags like Bild as well as in taxpayer-funded public broadcasting TV shows). And those who disapprove, who will clench their fists and gnash their teeth and curse those in power while being completely resigned to their fate, going "That's just the way it is! There's nothing I can do about it!".
mk47at: CDU/CSU are still the biggest party. And both the new party leader and the new general secretary (born in the 80s) are mentally stuck in the 70s. Unless that changes, there is no chance for a change.
By saying that they are mentally stuck in the 70s you imply that they have any mental capabilities at all. But since they're CDU/CSU, I very much doubt that.
