I heard that they don’t have similar problems in China, because they’ve made laws against it.
Why can’t we do that here in EU?

oh, I see, so this is the European version of techdirt.com/…/a-whole-bunch-of-states-file-garba… (except France doesn’t have a First Amendment so it is worse)

I wonder whether we will ever achieve a society in which we trust everyone, including young people, to know what’s good for them and what not by themselves.

Until then I can only read www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence and cry about how that has turned out.
