The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla's Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

I agree. If you give in to laws like these you have already lost; people will just accept their freedom being stripped away piece by piece, and government control of software will be the new normal. If on the other hand we reach a point where Firefox is illegal in France, it should be obvious to anyone and especially those involved in competition law that something is not right.

France is on a bad spree lately, and honestly they need all the bad publicity they can get. I hope this backfires for them.
