"Following the ‘Safer Internet Action Plan (1998-2004)’
here we are, faced with a new programme: ‘Safer Internet Plus’. The difference consists of a few more restrictions upon freedom of expression and slightly more targeting of what is called racist content. Not only illegal content, but also ‘unwanted’ and ‘harmful’ content are prohibited. Filtering software, codes of conduct, self-regulation, the denunciation of others ... Long live censorship! We reject a document along these lines, for we are committed to freedom of expression and condemn documents that crush freedom. The law of Jean-Claude Gayssot, a Communist, is the prime example of such a document. Moreover, we would point out that the basis of the Internet is electronic mail and, contrary to certain totalitarians, we are committed to freedom of correspondence, even electronic correspondence. What must be condemned are barbaric, paedophile or violent forms of behaviour and their perpetrators and not the media they make use of. It is society, with its increasingly decayed morals, trivialising all sorts of deviant behaviour, that must be changed. It is our governments’ complacency regarding all these wayward tendencies that must be combated, rather than freedom of thought and the freedom to express oneself via the Internet or from other platforms. These freedoms are now flouted in France, and this in accordance with the dogma of political correctness."@en1
