_*French Net Filtering Plan Moves Forward*_
French lawmakers voted Tuesday to approve a draft law to filter Internet traffic, a measure the government says is intended to catch child pornographers. The bill will now go on for a second and final reading.
I had lunch with a chap from CISCO France last week and we discussed this. Apparently, 1. the cost of installing the powerful equipment required to perform content filtering of all traffic is so prohibitive that there are real questions in the industry about who will pay for it. 2. zip your file and encrypt it using a *free* zip/encryptor and the file cannot be detected/decrypted In other words, it's another law promoted by clueless non-technical "advisors", designed to make headlines, but with no substance, completely un-enforceable, but which procured some work for a group of people whom would have been unemployed otherwise. But then, this is France, we've got quantities of laws like that which are never enforced... :-) -- Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html
