Re: What can ISPs do better? Removing racism out of internet

[bzs () theworld com]

And now this has happened, in a nutshell France's lower house says
remove content which is "obviously hateful" (words used in the
article) in 24 hours or face up to a 1.25M euro fine.

Granted perhaps it won't become law.

But legislators are clearly becoming consumed with this whole internet
fad and when all you have is a hammer the whole world looks like a
nail.

I'd argue all they're trying to legislate is free curation from
providers which is a really lousy thing to do.
