Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites on a government provided list encoded into the browser.
In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list. Such a move will overturn decades of established content moderation norms and provide a playbook for authoritarian governments that will easily negate the existence of censorship circumvention tools.
While motivated by a legitimate concern, this move to block websites directly within the browser would be disastrous for the open internet and disproportionate to the goals of the legal proposal – fighting fraud. It will also set a worrying precedent and create technical capabilities that other regimes will leverage for far more nefarious purposes. Leveraging existing malware and phishing protection offerings rather than replacing them with government provided, device level block-lists is a far better route to achieve the goals of the legislation.
Since when is our leftwing anti vax ? What have you been smoking ? And what the hell does pro Islam even mean ?? I’m baffled. This is inaccurate as all hell.
You specifically called Mélenchon out. Honestly, I don’t have much love for the guy himself (he is antiquated and becoming a liability) but you can’t call the mouvement antivax. Jadot is another kettle of fish entirely.
