We had French politicians talking about limiting encryptions this time.

Censorship doesn't work. It just drives the discourse underground and often enough makes it even more attractive. The only way for censorship to work is to take it to at least the same extremes as China and have a system of delation in place to denounce people guilty of forbidden speech.

I, for one, am not ready to sacrifice my freedom like this for an hypothetical increase in security.
