In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list.

I don’t agree that it’s “well-intentioned” at all but the article goes on to point out the potential for abuse by copyright holders.

      Just because it’s older doesn’t mean it hasn’t taken on new meaning as well though.

      “LFG” meant “let’s fucking go” and/or “looking for group” even within gaming circles. It’s all about who you’re talking to.
