Is Mozilla 100% forced to comply with this? What's to stop them from dropping their French presence and keep serving the browser unaltered on the public web? Do they also then get added to the ban list?

The thought behind this is alarming and worrying, but the mechanism of action seems shoddy and not thought out at all.

Institutions are becoming irrelevant due to the power of tech and this one of their reactions.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Irrelevant in some ways. We still need infrastructure and regulatory oversight bodies.

What's a petition going to do? Is there any evidence that a bunch of people signing a petition is any more effective than a bunch of people just asking?

How many times did internet petitions actually changed something

Same thought train like people claiming a protest march does nothing. You couldn't be more wrong. Making your opinion heard and showcasing how many people are with you has impact.

In fact, I'll turn your logic upside down: if your protest didn't get the result you wanted, you just didn't mobilize enough people (or not enough people cared for your cause)

Doesn’t firefox have the option to not officially be supported in france? Why are they asserting that they would automatically obey?
