> I just logged on and went to the Sysop Forum. Here's an official statement:
>
> Access to some newsgroups has been suspended indefinitely.
>
> CompuServe has been notified that some newsgroups may violate
> applicable laws or regulations.
>
> This matter is under further review.
>
> CompuServe was ordered by the German government to either ban the
> access from their list, or to discontinue service to Germany. We have
> over 500,000 German users and currently cannot block just one country.
> There will be an official announcement later, but CompuServe WILL
> fight this manuever and ways around it are being worked on.
>
> This statement has not been released publically. For what I hope are
> obvious reasons, please withhold my name as your source for this statement.
>
> But it would seem that Microsoft's idea of providing different content
> based on the customer's country on MSN was remarkably prescient...
