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

        I’m in favor (as a french). This would give one more reason for people to be angry. And they need to be.

              We got pretty angry at that retirement age shit, which has arguably more reach. Still got written into law…

                Do you think that feeling got away? It didn’t. People are still angry and more censorship would help them stand again

        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).
