The
digital information platform, known as the internet, has been with us for about three decades now, and we still can't think of ways and means in which to regulate the contents some internet sites post on their pages! Even the laws and provisions set forth by the governments of the world can't do anything to even closely monitor the contents each internet site has. This is what the French government is asking the Yahoo! people to do. That's right, to ban a damn racist internet site access to their country!
I think you'd be very much pissed off if you see your kid holding a Nazi knife while sporting a Nazi uniform, don't you think? This is exactly what the
French government, backed up by a few local groups, wants out of their country. Racial inclinations are being tapped as a profitable market by some of those sick racists, and they are using the internet as a means in which to gain access to the most number of people all over the world. The French government doesn't care if our government allows the selling and the proliferation of racist stuff and ideas, as long as these things stay away from French grounds as far as possible! I think the French government, just like the rest of humanity, wouldn't want another Hitler to emerge from such activities!
