At one time I learned that the French Republic was based upon Liberty. US This is a dreadful ruling and should be challenged. The Internet should not be policed. It is, like the multinationals, trans-national. I do not want any government or Nazi crank controlling what I submit or access on-line.
ALL human life is there - good, bad and monstrous.
This will open the door for clamping down on the Internet. The moment France gets away with this, a string of other countries will follow and soon the Internet will be regulated by people similar to these ancient dinosaur-type movie censors. The Internet will not be the Internet any more. Yahoo should withdraw their company from France. There are lots of other countries that will welcome Yahoo with open arms without giving them any hassle.
