    I hope DPJ will also have Internet-friendly politics.

    In Germany politicians are afraid of the Internet and therefore always restrict it more and more. It’s totally overrestricted now and insecure for website owners…

    I read that Japan also considers Internet censorship, just like German politicians decided now…
