Ursula von den Leyen has been pushing internet blocks in Germany for the sake of the children since 2009. Which is when "Zensursula" nickname has been coined. You don't need to look far to find the same thinking by the people in power.

No, it wasn't. She was chosen by a group of country leaders during a closed doors voting.
If it's democratic at all, it's very tangential.
