Aw, come on, let’s close down the internet already
ZDF Spezial had rather weird things to say about the internet a pro pos of the Winnenden massacre. First of all, the reporters appeared half surprised, half disappointed that the gunman had virtually no internet footprint: no hints, no threats, no weird social networking profiles.
