[HN] Will Browsers Be Required by Law to Stop You from Visiting Infringing Sites?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
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.
I don't agree that it's "well-intentioned" at all but the article goes on to point out the potential for abuse by copyright holders.

Yeah I intentionally didn't go through their post history. Don't have time for that lol. I mostly wrote that out for anyone who read his post and thought maybe there wasn't a counter argument to what he said.
Well I had time to waste and this comment seems a little out of pocket from the rest. Dude actually said we are outgrowing profit motives as a species. People's opinions are like a stained glass mural, each piece can be different.
Well said
