From vice.com:

After the recent Paris terror attacks, French law enforcement wants to have several powers added to a proposed law, including the move to forbid and block the use of the Tor anonymity network, according to an internal document from the Ministry of Interior seen by French newspaper Le Monde [Caution: Link in French].

That document talks about two proposed pieces of legislation, one around the state of emergency, and the other concerning counter-terrorism.

Regarding the former, French law enforcement wish to "Forbid free and shared wi-fi connections" during a state of emergency. This comes from a police opinion included in the document: the reason being that it is apparently difficult to track individuals who use public wi-fi networks.

As the latter, law enforcement would like "to block or forbid communications of the Tor network." The legislation, according to Le Monde, could be presented as early as January 2016.

    Strange you should say that. Trump has 36% of the 31% of the voting...

    So? President Butt Naked was elected with about 70 million of about 206 million adult citizens. This was considered a historic landslide.

    If Trump weren't considered a serious risk the establishment of The Party (both the Democratic and Republican sides) wouldn't be crapping kittens. If Le Pen (both of them now) weren't considered a real risk, along with the other (even more scary) insurgent parties of Europe, the elites there wouldn't be losing control of their bowels.

    Now lets dispose of the trash....

    Remember Sacco and Vizzetti?

    Good riddance to murdering anarchist scum. Sure they were innocent. Just like St. Skittles, OJ, and so on. Communists made a cause out of em to push the cause. Period.

    Remember the Red Menace..

    Yes. Apparently you don't. The archives have been opened now, the Truth is out there. Joe McCarthy's only sin was totally underestimating the scale of the problem. What he though was merely an infection at State was already metastasized throughout our government and the commanding heights of the culture. We have a goddamned 'Red diaper' baby' in our White House as a result. History has spoken and WFB was wrong to purge the John Birch Society.

    Remember the Maine?

    Who gives a shit? Nobody is ever going to know the real story on that. Fewer would believe if it were available. Look how many would prefer to live in a world of conspiracy theories on something obvious like JFK or 9/11. Sorry boys, a low life failed Communist popped a cap in JFK's ass. Did somebody put him up to it? The line of suspects is long and full of entities with motive and capability. Doesn't really matter though, a commie did it and you guys went totally nuts trying to rewrite that fact to save the Narrative. And fire does in fact melt steel. You guys would rather twist yourself into logical knots though. President Bush was a blithering idiot... who managed to pull off the biggest more foul crime in the history of the human race to accomplish.... oh look! Squirrel!

    You might try Google on the phrase "Left Singularity".

    Except that many of his stated views are every bit as authoritarian as those of his Republican and Democrat buddies. He is just trash.

    Joe McCarthy's only sin was totally underestimating the scale of the problem.

    What? You don't think violating the liberties of countless innocent people because he thought they believed something that he didn't like (which is a right anyway) is a bad thing? He was a fascist nutjob who simply preferred another form of authoritarianism to the one he thought he was fighting.

    I've yet to hear an explanation for 9-11 that didn't involve a conspiracy. Do you believe it was the result of careless smoking, or what?
