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

So, what kind of sites does France want to censor? Piracy?

It starts with the basics; piracy, cp, etc. Then it becomes whatever the highest-paying corporation wants to censor. Opposing political views? Check. Anything pro-free thinking? Check. There's no end to this, so we have to head it off at the pass. If corporations own the Web, we have lost (and we're shamefully close to that reality...)
