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.

    Why do they need to petition it? Mozilla is an American corporation, if they just ignore it, can France do anything punitive to them?

        ISPs in France, sure. They would have to convince ISPs elsewhere in the world to do it, and it wouldn’t be a popular move if ISPs start letting foreign governments censor stuff. Would the ISPs decide the bad press is worth making the French government happy, is the question.

          Sorry I wasn’t intending to imply that isps out of France would comply, just that getting the French ones to block Mozilla would prevent the vast majority of the country from accessing their browser (at current level of technical acuity).
