People can use VPN, so it's not very easy to know whether someone lives in France. That's all the problem IMO: some people here are saying "France: do whatever you want in your country but don't censor elsewhere". France could just answser: "very well, I just want this content not to be accessible in France, so do whatever you have to do, but respect our laws in France". And Google would have no choice to censor everywhere if it wants to comply since otherwise the search results would be accessible from France (through VPN).

- forty 11y agoI agree, it's pretty hard to know in this case whether the one breaking the law is the VPN provider (since is "smuggling" illegal search result into France) or the illegal search result provider. EDIT: I wonder how it works for drugs for example: if someone sells drugs from a country where it's legal to France, could he be found guilty in France? (I am pretty sure the smuggler/dealer will ^^)
