The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla’s Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.
- France has no more right to compel Mozilla to incorporate censorship into its web browser than it has to force authors to incorporate a paragraph of text praising the French Republic at the start of every book they write. I refuse to believe that things are so far gone in France that this law will not be knocked over if Mozilla pushes forcefully against it. - But will anyone think of the children??? - I’m so done with censorship nonsense. If someone is breaking your laws, persecute them. If not, let speech remain free. 
 
- pfp checks out

- I don’t speak French, but- oui :(

- Meanwhile, Mozilla themselves in 2021: - https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplatforming/ - 3 out of 4 of these demands presented in the link are measures for more transparency. I do not understand the parallels you’re trying to draw? 
 
- Whats wrong with french government?
