All, Well it seems that our fellow netcitizens in France are in the censorship business at the government level. The good is that they seem to be focusing in on Child Pornography, hate sites, and terrorist related content sites for the moment. The bad might be is that this could expand into a politically expediant, politically correct exercise that has it's own obvious and questionably valid results. The ugly is that if the bad good morfs into personel or political vendettas, the uglyness will spread like a horrible virus. Lets all hope that France sticks to Child Poronography, hate and terrorist web sites/domain names.
