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.

> I found out last week that 2/3 of the UK parliament, the law makers, are too retarded to know that the probability of two fair coins coming up both heads is 1/4.
That's a terrific experiment. I'd try it in Italy but I guess that throwing two fair coins in the Parliament make them disappear forever.
Account abandoned.
