I'd go further and say that Germany is not part of the (general) internet. From the top of my head I can list 5-10 domains that are blocked. No site explaining, just "this site can't be reached". Reasons are piracy, pornography, politics. And the biggest problem is that it's being widely defended with many voices to increase that censorship.

I've never ran into a DNS blocked domain, so I am really curious which 10 domains from the top of your head are blocked on the DNS level, specifically in Germany?

I'm not sure if porn or piracy links would fly here. But as others suggested, rt.com is blocked. And I know at least one other political one

I am not interested in the piracy and porn ones, as blocking piracy and porn is hardly a German thing ...

rt.com is banned within the EU (and YouTube), not just Germany. It's literally a propaganda outlet of the Russian government, hardly banned lightly, or merely because of dissenting political opinions. Unsurprisingly, Moscow took that ban quite personal. Russia apologists are literally sitting in the German parliament right now. So much for censoring opposing political opinions.

Bit of a reach claiming Germany isn't part of the general internet isn't it?

And that's the thing with censorship: for every example, someone comes out of the woodwork saying that this example isn't quite so bad, because it's XYZ. Every site taken down is bad. I don't care if it's a manual for terrorism or Hitlers diary. It's all censorship.

		So Germany isn't actually an exception like you claimed? Or why are you moving the goalpost? Little sus... Information wasn't censored, deliberate misinformation was. The German democracy is set up to be resisting forces which threaten it's very existence. RT's mission was not set out to inform the German population with journalistic integrity, but using false reports meant to destroy the social fabric of an enemy state (from Moscow's perspective). Quite funny you mentioned "Hitler's diary", which is a fabrication as well. Also not censored... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_Diaries As for bomb making, yeah sorry, you can't get field instructions how to make something you are not allowed to produce, use or have. The chemistry isn't banned tho. Maybe try wikipedia or a library?
