Honestly I am mildly curious about this, but I am feeling a little too drunk and lazy at this point in my day to look it up and the linked article was not helpful. Can someone eli5 what has the French government so salty? Thanks in advance, -Cas

It's about censorship and control of the internet. The French government is looking for another way to block things, beyond ISPs.

I forgot to say this at the time, but thanks for the response. You helped me to understand the issue.
