Interesting tibdbit 2 : French gvt censors the internet
When the state of emergency was passed (note Dhimminique Galouzeau "de Villepin" never even used the expression), it was clearly said there wouldn't be any censorship involved, like the law allows.That wouldn't have been necessary anyway, the french msm are gladly self-censoring (see this link in french, about the way torched churches were not mentioned in online french press, or when it briefly was, it was later supressed)... Still, the internet remained relatively free, and acted as the conservative blogosphere in the USA. But... Starting in late 11/09 afternoon, right after the 1955 law was reactivated, french web users found they couldn't access the most popular "islamophobic" websites, http://www.france-echos.com/, http://www.occidentalis.com/index.php, and http://www.coranix.com/ (plus possibly others). This was discussed on conservative french forums, and tech-savvy forumers found this was a systematic filtering by the french ISP (ALL of them, it seems) In fact, it could even be the "Emeraude" plan, in which during crisis time, internet traffic is redirected to military servers using filters and interception (tinfoil hat alert!, though this is certainly possible). Anyway, french user cannot access theses sites anymore, except by using a proxy. This is censorship, plain and simple. Note that french "moderate" muslim sites (complete with hidden jihad call, anti-french, anti-western/anti-US and antisemite prejudice,...), islamoleftist (such as the infamouis Radio-islam), and lefists websites still are freely acessible. The blocked sites are NOT neonazi, they are conservative and "islamophobic", but the french gvt has been very afraid of the internet, especially after the "Radikal Web" affair, a rightwing webring of anti-islam and anti-Shiraq websites, which was hounded by the "thought police" ("antiracist" & plain leftist hackers and orgs with contacts in french police), and later busted when there was a totally unrelated "attempted attempted" assassination agaisnt Our Dear Leader. Since then, the gvt has been pressuring islamophobic webmasters by suing them one after the other. This is only minor, but this needs to be known in the USA : *theses* are the people who wish to control the internet... Posted by: anonymous5089 2005-11-10 |
