The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla’s Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.
As always I am reminded that governments are run by the tech illiterate.
Firefox being free software, it wouldn’t make much sense for them to try and do something like this. So obviously we know that Mozilla would never go along with such an absurd law and start doing censorship on behalf of France. … right, Mozilla? Slightly strange that you didn’t say so?
Why forcing the browsers? Couldn’t they just make a law for ISPs to block specific domains?
Why do right wingers hate freedom so much?
Its nothing to do with the right wing and everythiny to do with authoratarianism. Left wing authoratarians hate freedom just as much. They just usually attafk different targets.
