It is strongly worded against any filtering based on categories. The 
referendum proposals where only mentioned as an example, since it 
illustrated an example. Please refrain from weakening the point the poll 
made. Otherwise we will have to set up another poll with very strong 
wording like: "Es soll verboten werden Inhalte jeglicher Art in 
irgendeiner Weise zu Filtern, wenn dabei nicht alle Inhalte gleich 
behandelt werden."

"It shall be forbidden to filter content of any kind by any method, if 
it does not treat every content as equal."
