Compuserve & Censorship

NPR's John McChesney reports the online service Compuserve says it plans to reopen access to nearly 200 sexually-oriented discussion groups to all but its German customers by the end of the month. Compuserve closed the forums after prosecutors in Germany said some of the material in the groups violated German obscenity laws.
