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.

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?
