Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites on a government provided list encoded into the browser.
Either rioting in the streets or widespread adoption of some open-source niche browser. Or both.
(If this passes, it's either going to go unenforced or hit massive legal challenges—not a lawyer, but I think it's incompatible with freedom of association, which appears to be a legal right in France.)
French person here. If their previous attempts at creating anything digital are any indication of the future we are in for a fun ride. I fully expect them to implement the blocking by hiding the page behind a black png.
How would France even implement a way to restrict what version of software you download from the internet? IP based restrictions are easily defeated and this doesn't account for 3rd party sites based anywhere in the world except France.
Yet again an example of (for some, not-so) old, control-freak farts that just don't understand the world they live in. The law proposal is entitled "Regulation of digital space". As if a country could regulate an international network.
