Over the years we’ve covered a lot of attempts by relatively clueless governments and politicians to enact think-of-the-children internet censorship or surveillance legislation, but thereR…
Not much of a surprise that it’s being done quietly. It’s the same with the EU “chat control” legislation, nobody really seems to know about it and if passed it’ll have serious consequences for the privacy of everyone in the EU
I’m not sure if it’s accelerated or if they just don’t hide it anymore, just like corruption.

And they will have a field day with all the shit that has been set up in the past decades.
Maybe a little bit of both! And fuck I hope LePen and her ilk never get anywhere near the presidency, but with the way things are going that seems unlikely. But who knows, things could change before then…

Wtf I missed that too !

It’s a little French-bashing is all. I live in France and haven’t heard a peep about it, even from places like LQDN or Drama.
Article 6 of SREN states that France will follow European law 2022/1925:
Mozilla is pushing against this. They started a petition and now every tech journalist is writing something about it.
I think this is up to date here https://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/16/textes/l16b1514_projet-loi#D_Article_6

This tendency towards authoritarianism has been going on for years in France. At least since 2007. And it shows no signs of stopping or slowing down.
