The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla’s Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

So, what kind of sites does France want to censor? Piracy?
It starts with the basics; piracy, cp, etc. Then it becomes whatever the highest-paying corporation wants to censor. Opposing political views? Check. Anything pro-free thinking? Check. There’s no end to this, so we have to head it off at the pass. If corporations own the Web, we have lost (and we’re shamefully close to that reality…)
Probably dissenting political opinions like many European countries have already started to do
and porn
Eh, I would support blocks on that. My bigger concern is the political blocks that seem quite possible
Okay, so lets build all the infrastructure and technology to block porn in the most effective way possible.
And I pinky winky promise to never use that technology to silence my political opponents.
Just think of the children.
Honestly, if pornography gets blocked I’m fine with the collateral damage of political silencing. Quite frankly, there isn’t much I wouldn’t put up with for that to be blocked
