ARCOM seems like an outlier to me. Independent Public Authority are typically commissioned to secure the welfare of all French citizens by overseeing French corporations (ex:AMF for markets). Arcom is the reverse of this.
- orwin 2y agoMaistre was chosen to lead the ex-CSA, now ARCOM because he would absolutely accept to take CNIL's job of website blocking and pursuing 'pirates'. CNIL was too independent, refused too much to block specific websites, refused yo go further than sending a strongly worded letter to 'pirate'. Once Maistre accepted the job, the number of letter exploded, as well as the number of case (basically only huge, huge seeders were pursued by the CNIL, so like 5 people over a bit less than 10 years). Not surprising, he worked for the 'ministère de la culture', closely with Universal and friends.
