[HN] Will Browsers Be Required by Law to Stop You from Visiting Infringing Sites?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
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.
I don't agree that it's "well-intentioned" at all but the article goes on to point out the potential for abuse by copyright holders.

As usual, so anyone who is against this law can be depicted as someone who is supporting pedopornography.
Yep, the other go to is calling people right wing extremists.

asdfasdfsadfasfasdfYes, I agree. My point was left v. Right or anything like that. I was just pointing out that it's another label I've seen thrown out label I've seen thrown out there in the last few years when trying to discredit people.
I guess my point didn't come off they way I meant it looking at all of these replies.
