France: Criminal Charges Against Yahoo's Ex-CEO

Ther article notes that the charges were filed in regardless of the offending items being removed from the French Yahoo! pages. Is it just me or do the lines between national and international law seem to be blurring?"

    You stink. I pray every day that the awful country of France is invaded once again by Hitler's grand army.

    The French government is acting very much like a Nazi regime. Or worse. It makes me think that these people actually picked this up from the German invaders during WW2 and passed the concepts on down to their children, and so on.

    When the French citizen clicks on the Yahoo.COM site, they know they are going to the USA. This is the electronic online age equivalent to traveling, including overseas.

  3. The USA is a terrorist nation by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The USA does not protect minorities, ethnic groups and political parties. The USA web is rife
    with criminal sites which promote hate thoughts of the whites, which deny the Holocaust, which defend conservatism and right wing ideologies, which defame the good name of the Soviet Union and Soviet leaders such as Stalin by telling vicious lies about "communism being worse than Hitler".

    By not doing anything to curtail these evil activities, the USA proves that it is a terrorist supporting nation. The haters are terrorists and by harboring the haters the USA shows it's not any better than the Taliban (who at least weren't white).
