German lawmaker tries to file charges against Wikipedia for Nazi imagery

Knowledge is dangerous:

A left-wing German politician withdrew charges against online encyclopedia Wikipedia on Friday for promoting the use of banned Nazi symbols in Germany.

Katina Schubert, a deputy leader of the far-left Left party, had filed the charges with Berlin police Thursday. He argued that Wikipedia’s German language site contained too much Nazi symbolism, particularly an article on the Hitler Youth movement.

Schubert noted that many of the images in question were removed from Wikipedia even before “intensive discussions” with the encyclopedia anyone can edit.
