The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla's Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

    Maybe this is a stupid question, but how does France have jurisdiction to force features into a web browser made by an American company?

      They are free to try and compel them and Mozilla would be free to stop operating in France.

        And then when in France, I can simply use some other open source browser. This kind of shows how dumb politicians are. Next up? You shouldn’t be able to access dangerous software like GitHub, let’s block that!
