France moves closer to unprecedented Internet censorship

We read:

"The lower house of the French parliament has approved a draft bill that will allow the state unprecedented control over the Internet. Although the government says it will improve security for ordinary citizens, civil rights activists are warning of a ‘new level’ of censorship and surveillance. …

According to the draft legislation, the law ‘makes it the responsibility of each Internet service provider to ensure that users don’t have access to unsuitable content.’ The list of banned Web sites would be provided by the Interior Ministry. …

Under the new French legislation, police and security forces would be able to use clandestinely installed software, known in the jargon as a ‘Trojan horse,’ to spy on private computers. Remote access to private computers would be made possible under the supervision of a judge.”

It's a different approach from Italy but equally pernicious.
