Censorship and withdrawal of freedom and liberty dangerously progressing throughout the world as we can see more and more dictatorial states.
In France, the current president is hated by most of the country, actually its government is even "temporary" permanently because it was rejected by the national assembly but still stayed until next election next year
And the hatred is deserved by a long list of abuses and corruption cases.
So the dream of the president and the other political leaders is to censor internet to prevent the bad news about them to spread. Would be more easy to control the lies propagated by official médias that are for most of them owned by the richest family in France like the owner of LVMH.
Tbf the internet has stopped being a bastion for freedom and liberty. Governments didn’t do that. The corporations did. The engineers working at those corporations did.
