A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's a little French-bashing is all. I live in France and haven't heard a peep about it, even from places like LQDN or Drama.

Article 6 of SREN states that France will follow European law 2022/1925:

Browsers will be informed of illegal website urls via a reporting mechanism blah blah blah

Mozilla is pushing against this. They started a petition and now every tech journalist is writing something about it.

I think this is up to date here https://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/16/textes/l16b1514_projet-loi#D_Article_6

Bonne lecture
