In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list. Such a move will overturn decades of established content moderation norms and provide a playbook for authoritarian governments that will easily negate the existence of censorship circumvention tools.

Everyone wants to destroy the open Internet. Our own reichfuhrer has introduced C-11 which sticks the governments fingers directly into websites, and C-18 which ends the universal concept that hyperlinking is free of charge.

At the rate we're going, the free and open internet will be a memory I tell my great grandkids about, like using the analog telephone to get on the internet at 9600bps on a computer with much less computing power than my wristwatch.
