FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMPUSERVE(R) SUSPENDS ACCESS TO SPECIFIC INTERNET NEWSGROUPS
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 28, 1995 -- During the past week, CompuServe
Incorporated temporarily suspended access to more than 200 Internet
newsgroups in response to a direct mandate from the prosecutor s
office in
Germany. Each of the newsgroups that was suspended was specifically
identified to CompuServe by the German authorities as illegal under
German
criminal law. CompuServe did not select any groups or determine the
nature of the newsgroups that have been impacted by this action.
German government officials, as part of an investigation of
illegal material on the Internet, ordered CompuServe to do what was
necessary with respect to specified newsgroups in order to comply
with
German law. German authorities are investigating newsgroups and
other
Internet content that may contain child pornography, other
pornographic
material illegal for adults, as well as content that although not
illegal
for adults is of such an explicit nature that it is illegal for
minors.
While access has been suspended, CompuServe continues to
work with
German authorities to resolve this matter. CompuServe cannot alter
the
content on the Internet in any way and has only suspended access to
the
disputed newsgroups through CIS. The issues being investigated in
Germany, like those being addressed across the industry, need to
remain
focused on the individuals and groups placing content on the
Internet.
CompuServe, as an access provider, is not responsible for the
origination
or nature of content on the Internet over which it has no creative or
editorial control.
The global market is vital to CompuServe. We currently have
500,000 members in Western Europe and anticipate doubling that
number in
the next year. As the leading global service, CompuServe must
comply with
the laws of the many countries in which we operate. However, laws in
different countries are often in conflict, and this creates new
challenges
unique to the emerging online industry. CompuServe is
investigating ways
in which we can restrict user access to selected newsgroups by
geographical location.

Subject: File 3-- List of CIS banned newsgroups
I must admit that I am not familiar with _all_ of these newsgroups,
but
this is reported to be an accurate list of the groups blocked by
CompuServe at the request of the Bavarian prosecutors.
