'''The Incident:''' On February 8th 2002, the "Bezirksregierung Duesseldorf" (the district government of Duesseldorf county, Northrhine-Westphalia in Germany) passed orders to more than 80 internet access providers: they should ban the access of their users to some foreign websites. In this particular case, the "Bezirksregierung" refers to its competence as the disctrict government administration responsible for legal protection of children and the youth and "punishment of infringements of law" regarding to the so-called "Mediendienstestaatsvertrag" (interstate agreement on media services). Although that particular authority is responsible for media-services like video-text and not for tele-communication services, the provider have been requested to block customers' access to two right-wing extremists' web-sites being hosted in the USA. That does not mean blocked access only, but blocked communication of any kind with the people behind it as well - e-mails etc. shall be made impossible. At the moment, a pilot-project of a filter-system is being tested, which will be used to block the access to questionable web-sites. Those websites offer - according to German law - illegal content such as nazi-propaganda and presumably endanger children and youths. But: the blocking includes access to any web-site containing such material, no matter where it is hosted. So far it is not known who shall be entitled to edit the "Black List", which is neccessary for this method. It is also not known if this "Black List" will be subject to any control according to the federal republican law. (quoted from http://odem.org/informationsfreiheit/en/) <P>

This Incident is closely related to the person of Juergen Buessow, Chief of the district government of Duesseldorf county. As he said in TV interviews and other reports, he considers the blocking a "great mission."
