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.
“Well intentioned” my pasty white ass it’s well intentioned, they know exactly what they are doing. Fuck these people
In French we have an expression “la route de l’enfer est pavé de bonnes intention”.
I guess in english its " the hell’s road is made with good intentions"
We have the same saying in English:
The road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions.
Oh thanks mate
No worries 👍 always happy to have cultural exchange
Goes to show, we’re not that different after all.
