France falls under Internet censorship

The French parliament has buckled under pressure and approved the Sarkozy government’s authoritarian plans to censor the Internet. [...] Jérémie Zimmermann, a spokesperson for La Quadrature du Net, said that any censorship should have been trialled before being approved, explaining, ”The refusal to enact Net filtering as an experimental measure is a proof of the ill-intended objective of the government. Making Net filtering a temporary measure would have shown that it is uneffective to fight child pornography.”
