Talk:Hakenkreuz

It is illegal for Germans to watch the article page because by watching it one would import illegal symbols to Germany. It should have a law warning template for that or something. Mutante 14:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Section 86 of the German criminal code: (in part)

"(1) Whoever domestically disseminates or produces, stocks, imports or exports or makes publicly accessible through data storage media for dissemination domestically or abroad, means of propaganda:

1. of a party which has been declared to be unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court or a party or organization, as to which it has been determined, no longer subject to appeal, that it is a substitute organization of such a party;

[…]

(3) Subsection (1) shall not be applicable if the means of propaganda or the act serves to further civil enlightenment, to avert unconstitutional aims, to promote art or science, research or teaching, reporting about current historical events or similar purposes."


 * The wiktionary clearly meets this paragraph (3). The law is aimed at propagandist or commercial or casual exploitation of the symbol. Robert Ullmann 14:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
