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."
The government, president and parliament are all controlled by the right-wing but in your wet dreams they're socialists. Yeah, right. Don't let reality change your Fox News view of the world.
