I never said there was anything wrong with the German Wikipedia. I was
suggesting that swastikas might be something German people would want
to filter out, even if none of them are offended by sex, violence, or
images of Muhammad. Even if that's not the case, there are all kinds
of other things people might want to filter out. Sex, violence and
Muhammad are just some of the most obvious examples, so they tend to
be the ones we talk about.
