I’m disappointed to see how few people are up to date on what legal responsibilities platform hosts have.

Didn’t we have months and months of this discussion around the last US presidential election? Haven’t we had this discussion years ago when piracy was rampant on ”surface web” sites?

Businesses have always had legal requirements based on the nature of their trade.

Just because something is law does not mean it should be law. Not all legal responsibilities should be legal responsibilities. There is no way in which we will accept that what the French government is doing is legitimate merely because it's legal for them to do it in France.

What France is doing is unjust. They should stop. If their laws are not just they should be repealed.
