Please, don't abolish our net neutrality

After the recent vote in the European parliament and the passing of article 13 (article 17) German (political) institutes seem to continue with their bullshit.

The portal boerse.* is now being blocked by German internet providers Vodafone and 1&1, because the German GEMA, an institute which “represents” artists, forced them to. Besides the “zero traffic” mobile streaming offered by the Telekom and by Vodafone, this the first time providers really don’t care too much.

Which site’s next? I’d vote for cdu.de for all users of the Telekom. We need to stop this. Now! 😀

PS: Fortunately, every German institute is very unskilled when it comes down to digital strategies and their implementation. Just change your DNS which is responsible for assigning web pages to IP address so your browser can connect. I encourage you to use the DNS servers of Digitalcourage e.V. anyway.
