Yahoo! to stop auctions of Nazi memorabilia
Hi all
A story from The Guardian which can easily be interpreted as Yahoo's
reaction to the recent French court case and goings on in Germany.

Yahoo! to stop auctions of Nazi memorabilia
Special report: Net news
Staff and agencies
Wednesday January 3, 2001
Yahoo! is to stop carrying online auctions of Nazi artifacts and
other hate-related materials.
The new restrictions, which take effect a week from Wednesday, follow
November's court ruling from France requiring Yahoo! to block such
items from French users.
Although Yahoo! has insisted it cannot limit access to certain
geographic regions, as the French court ordered, Yahoo! may
effectively comply by blocking the items from everyone.
