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

Browser based blocking seems very out of touch and anything short of GFW as in China won’t be very effective at actually achieving any blocking. Also enforcement client side will be impossible to control.

So not only is the law bad, but it will only make life more difficult for legitimate persons and organizations building browsers.
