France isp's to block GFY.com
 

ok well they havent done it yet , but it could happen fairly soon.

Interesting how they tout it as "child porn" ban , but also add "terrorism" and "racial hatred" in with it, thus it would/could include gfy and its many racist threads.

"A blacklist will be compiled based on input from Internet users who flag sites containing offensive material, Interior Minister Michel Alliot-Marie said"

wow i wonder who is going to decide what is offensive or not ?

PARIS - France is joining at least five other countries where Internet service providers block access to child pornography and to content linked to terrorism and racial hatred, the French interior minister said Tuesday.



The agreement will take effect in September. A blacklist will be compiled based on input from Internet users who flag sites containing offensive material, Interior Minister Michel Alliot-Marie said.

All service providers in France have agreed to block offending sites, he said.

"We can no longer tolerate the sexual exploitation of children in the form of child pornography," Alliot-Marie said. "We have come to an agreement: access to child pornography sites will be blocked in France. Other democracies have done it. France could wait no longer."

Offensive sites will be referred to judicial authorities, the minister said.

A similar deal was announced Tuesday in New York, where Verizon, Sprint and Time Warner Cable agreed with New York state officials to block access to child porn.

Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Canada and New Zealand are among other countries that have already implemented similar measures.

i wonder how this will affect some of the larger tube sites like break.com and youtube.com , both are filled with racist comments and such.

wow................

These Gays keep trying to give censorship to internet since many years, their gay asses should be very disappointed from internet

Que all the idiots saying "glad i don't live in France"

don't count cp in my comment btw

Who cares what France does. They are whining idiot consumers. I have blocked the country from ordering anything from all of my companies because the douches just charge back or hammer support with their gay language talk.

This is great news for the rest of the world. I wonder if there's any way they could lump Quebec into that system?

So France traffic should be redirected ?

Fucking stupid and they do it in Sweden too.

France is complaining about racial hatred?

Is that article done with your yahoo fake script?

More freedom fries for me please!

Finland's ISP's already block pornsites that even have one image of a child looking model, whether she is or not.

interesting

So, if an individual flags a site, will there be someone to verify that it actually is child pornography? When you let the public do stuff, it can get ugly, since most people are less than super intelligent. I bet some groups that hate adult sites would just sit and flag sites, claiming they possess child pornography...

This thread is fucking funny. I will copy and paste the responses and sleep with them under my pillow.

I wonder if we can buy this blocked traffic......

That's good thinking!

definitely a huge one! :pimp

I've got a handbasket... who's coming with me?

ouch, there goes the french porn community!

At least, they didn't invade Iraq.

Invading Iraq is less severe than being born French.

Bush sux0r

Fucking haters!
Vive la France!

better be born french than plain stupid for making such a brilliantly constructive comment...

I went to France for school during univ...

From what I could tell they are perverted sex and porn addicted racists..

Soo this comes as a surprise to me..

The school I went to the student organization hired Katsumi to come to a party and give us a live sex show!!

Surprising.. they have been known as perverts always. But governments and people aren't the same.

Amen! :thumbsup

indeed..

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You're an idiot.

oh well ...
