[quote]"A new episode in French internet legislation — French ministers have passed a bill (original in French) allowing the government to add any website to a black list, which access providers will have to enforce. This black list will be defined by the government only, without requiring the intervention of the legal system. Although originally intended against pedo-pornographic websites, this bill is already outdated, as was Hadopi in its time, and instead paves the way for a global censorship of the 'French internet.'"[/quote]

Why do you think the government is all over Julian Assange? They're clearly looking for a reason to censor the internet, and looks like it's working.

I bet wikileaks had something to do with this.

[AWarGuy]

First the Americans take down websites, wikileaks issues and now this?
Holy shit this is a big step back for internet freedom.

I didn't say anything about Julian Assange? Where did you even get that from? I just meant that it seems the governments are trying to pick and choose what we can see on the internet, and it starts off with good intentions (hopefully) but anything can be abused, and this is no exception.

God fucking dammit, governments, this is terrible, and you are acting like immature children.
