French Net Censorship Plan Moves Forward

angry tapir writes "French lawmakers have voted to approve a draft law to filter Internet traffic that Slashdot previously discussed. The government says the measure is intended to catch child pornographers. The Senate, where the government has a majority, will soon give the bill a second reading. If the Senate makes no amendments to the text, that will also be its final reading, as the government has declared the bill 'urgent,' a procedural move that reduces the usual cycle of four readings to two."

    Their right wing is to the left of our left wing. Europeans, including the French, are ALWAYS bragging here about democratic socialism.

    You might need to be a bit more careful with your terminology. Hitler's Nazi Party was the "National Socialist German Workers' Party", and we all know where they stood in the political spectrum.
