Not much of a surprise that it's being done quietly. It's the same with the EU "chat control" legislation, nobody really seems to know about it and if passed it'll have serious consequences for the privacy of everyone in the EU

It's a little French-bashing is all. I live in France and haven't heard a peep about it, even from places like LQDN or Drama.

Article 6 of SREN states that France will follow European law 2022/1925:

  • Browsers will be informed of illegal website urls via a reporting mechanism blah blah blah

Mozilla is pushing against this. They started a petition and now every tech journalist is writing something about it.

I think this is up to date here https://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/16/textes/l16b1514_projet-loi#D_Article_6

Bonne lecture
