to complete the picture, in the previous week alone : - a court found that is was illegal to have covered a feminist book shop in during the visit of a minister, to hide content about cases he was involved in. [1] - the agreement of one of the largest anti-corruption NGO was cancelled, making it more difficult for them to bring corruption cases to court. [2] they had their nose in what is becoming a state scandal (Affaire Kohler) - an ecologist NGO was disbanded by the same minister involved in 1 [3] - and you must have seen the guy who was shot dead by the police. The police then made up a story that was debunked by a witness on social media. [4] It follows months of protests being forbidden using anti-terrorism laws [5], and parliament being bypassed so hard that the Council of Europe raised questions about democracy [6] Telegram was also blocked during a whole day, and connection attempts were logged, all of that "by accident" [7] So if the current government wants a law to be applied, like web censoring, they will explore any means for that. ------------------------------------------------------------------- these links are in french, you could use google translate ------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/provence-alpes-cote-d-azur/alpes-maritimes/nice/une-librairie-feministe-de-nice-fait-condamner-l-etat-pour-atteinte-a-la-liberte-d-expression-2803343.html https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/provence-alpes-cote-...
