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

block websites in the browsers themselves.

Its in the first paragraph. So no, a warning wouldn't suffice. Jfc. Read

And yes, I know it's open source and someone can remove the block, but Mozilla and other companies can still be forced to put it there and leave it up to users to figure out. They probably can give vague instructions, but they probably have to avoid too much detail to stay out of legal trouble. What level of understanding do you have of the world outside your parents' house?

so that's... what they are not worried about? that is like whole purpose of the petition. for person sending other to reading class, you really have a problem with that. you don't have to reply to that, welcome to my block list.

Oh my goodness. Blocking websites in a browser is a lot different than saying "not recommended". I'm telling you what they are worried about versus your dumbass interpretation. Context clues may help you. I had already told you what they're not worried about. I can only assume you're not this dumb and see just trolling in bad faith now.
