Sign our petition to stop France from forcing browsers like Mozilla's Firefox to censor websites

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

    Well, they’ve heard people can use a VPN to bypass the current blocking (which is done by the ISP, usually through the DNS server) so they are looking for alternatives. It’s only natural.

    As far as I know, all governments block websites. What would be more interesting is comparing which one sensors the most.

    edit: to be clear, what I mean is: the method used by governments to censor the web is not as important as what is being censored. And I wish there was a simple way to monitor what is censored by each state.

      (Nearly) all governments limit car speeds on public roads, with external enforcement (fines, road design, etc.).

      Yet AFAIK no government enforces the national speed limit through a speed limiter on cars.

      Exact same goal, maybe even result, but I’m uncomfortable with the semantics.
