The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla's Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

Firefox being free software, it wouldn't make much sense for them to try and do something like this. So obviously we know that Mozilla would never go along with such an absurd law and start doing censorship on behalf of France. ... right, Mozilla? Slightly strange that you didn't say so?

True... How would governments enforce dumb laws like that on open source software anyway?

They could still charge the leadership, fine them, and cause life to be a bit more difficult. Even if I don't live in a country, I wouldn't want that hanging over my head.

It's hard not living in a country
