Not taking their side, but politicians who say that a nuclear plant shouldn’t be built next to a nature preserve don’t have to know the exact physics going on inside it.
Awesome! That way, the next time a minority starts connecting and coordinating using the internet, conservatives can silence them by doxxing them and threatening their families!
You gave a perfect example of why politician decision SHOULD be based on technical knowledge and not only on what seems to be common sense or popular opinion.
In this case having a nuclear plant close to a close to a nature reserve could be a good idea.
A nuclear plant has a much lower impact on biodiversity than an agricultural field for exemple.
In this case Mozilla likely has staff and contributors working out of France. Chances are they make money from there too. Mozilla would either need to forfeit the above or comply if the law is implemented.
Enforcement from decent sized economies can often be as simple as having too much economic power to ignore, which often isn’t that high of a threshold.
Sure, but again, it’s open-source - couldn’t somebody not legally affiliated with Mozilla offer a version of it from a server outside France with the blocking code removed?
Yes - but the vast majority of people are not going to be downloading forks or modified versions of software, they will always get it directly from the source.
How do they propose to enforce this, when browsers are free and open-source and can easily be downloaded from hosts outside of France?
People that propose this kind of stuff always know exactly nothing about how the internet, or technology in general, works.
The Internet is a series of tubes, not a dump truck.
For those who don’t know, this is from senator Ted Stevens explaining how the internet works. Here is the audio:

YouTube links without context or a description are horrible.
Spend the extra 10 seconds to tell people why you feel they fit into the conversation.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I didn’t.

The “default”, so to speak, has a lot of power.
They can probably enforce it on the major ones and that will be enough to censor 95% of the population.
