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?

Probably dissenting political opinions like many European countries have already started to do

Eh, I would support blocks on that. My bigger concern is the political blocks that seem quite possible

Eh, I would support blocks on that. [Porn]

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

Are we talking cp here or pornography in general?

[–] rjs001@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

All of it. CSAM should be taken special care to ensure it is stopped but we should, as a society, avoid all of it
