                Republic, or East Germany, was no picnic. This grim
                socialist state was known for the extraordinary amount
                of spying it carried out on its own citizens.
                Conservative estimates suggest that 1 in 50 East Germans
                regularly collaborated with the Ministry for State
                Security—the infamous Stasi. Although such pervasive
                intrusions into their personal lives are outside the
                direct experience of young Germans today, some of them
                have dubbed their government’s latest rules on the
                retention of Internet data by Internet service providers
                “Stasi 2.0.” And they’re angry enough about it to take
                to the streets. Demonstrations are planned this Saturday
                for Berlin and other cities.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://spectrum.ieee.org/oct08/6878">The rationale, of
                course, is that this information will help officials
                combat serious crimes, such as acts of terrorism.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/87BA8477-D7D1-485E-8586-184824FB8471/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
