<h1>Zensursula</h1>
<p class='desc'>
Ursula von der Leyen (a.k.a Zensursula) is the current German Minister for Family Affairs, who’s been under the media spotlight for her strong advocacy of internet censorship laws against child pornography and other contents deemed as “inappropriate” by the federal government.
If passed, such legislation would require internet providers to post “stop” signs when internet users try to access child pornography sites. But the critics argue this will not actually help fighting child pornography, since such materials are rarely traded on open websites, but via peer-to-peer protocols or via the nntp protocol (usenet) and that it could set a dangerous example and lead to other kinds of “harmful” information being censored.
Her conservative politics and controversial policies (ex: 2008 motion to blacklist the atheist children’s book) brought her the nickname “Zensursula,” a portmanteau word blending the German word for censorship (“Zensur”) and Mrs von der Leyen’s given name (“Ursula”).
