That is where I disagree. The personal image filter doesn't make much sense in German Wikipedia, since the German culture is generally pretty liberal with respect to depictions of sexuality, (partially) violence and of course Muhammed. So it's clear that there is simply no or a very small necessity for a filter; thus the rejection.
I call bullshit. If wikipedia or its chapters should ever be found to be liable under German law there is going to have some explaining to do:

I was talking about German culture, not German law. In other words, people don't seem to be so weirded out by sexuality like some* Americans are. Look up Freikörperkultur for an example.
