You can't say the government is censoring everything related to the Nazis, there's no black curtain above History, books/films/documents about Nazi are freely available, it's just that promotion of Nazism is prohibited, that's all the law and the judgement are about. Selling Nazi memorabilia is considered part of Nazism promotion here in France. That's all.
Now from a technical standpoint, Yahoo has to deploy means of blocking access to such an auction site from French citizens, they're not obliged to spend millions of bucks to block ALL accesses, they must just show their good will by deploying appropriate protection that will block Average Joe. Of course Web anonymizers can still be used, but what percent of the population knows even the existence of such stuff ?
Frankly, do you think the US govt would let Yahoo Colombia sell cocaine ? I don't think so.
