Here is a list of links : Press release of La Quadrature last Tuesday before first reading vote in National Assembly where the Socialists and Radicaux "de Gauche" unanimously voted for the text while all other partie unanimously voted against (purely party-line vote without any consideration for the issue): A Move Towards Generalised Internet Surveillance in France? https://www.laquadrature.net/en/a-move-towards-generalised-internet-surveill... The "opinion" of the (consultative) Conseil National du Numérique requesting deletion of article 13 : http://www.cnnumerique.fr/libertes-numeriques/ The position statement of ASIC ("community" sites) that first spotted the danger : http://www.lasic.fr/?p=598 The minister of digital economy discarded it on the basis of membership of Google and similar NSA-related companies. Gilles Babinet's interview: « Nous sommes à deux doigts de la dictature numérique » http://www.lesechos.fr/entreprises-secteurs/tech-medias/interview/0203176354... and as I wrote previously, the bottom party of my post http://paigrain.debatpublic.net/?p=8446 contains an analysis of the core susbstantive changes that would be introduced if the infamous article 13 were to be adopted.

Dear Philippe,
Thank you for posting this (horrifying) piece of news, which is clearly relevant for all Europeans, Italians very much included.
Is there a URL on the topic (even if in French) that is well suited to present the issue? It would be useful to raise awareness in Italy, too.
Thanks!
Juan Carlos

Dear all,
I have been too busy to keep you posted before this morning, but an epic fight is taking place in France around provisions that were injected in the Loi de programmation militaire and that would create a legal basis for a real-time, administratively ordered, generalized to all information and documents, to hosting as well as to access services, non-judiciary, open finality including "economic and scientific potential of France".
Civil society was slow in spotting and reacting this extreme danger, but is catching back. The press has now extensive coverage of the issue. Yesterday evening an interview by the French "digital champion" Gilles Babinet declaring that "this is law is the most offensive attack on democracy since exception courts during the Algerian war" and my post "Les parlementaires vont-ils consentir à la démocrature ?" were compering in Internet buzzing with the announcement that Hollande and Sarkozy will go together to Mandela's funeral. The governement is rushing the legislative process, using the urgency of adoption of the rest of the law (on which the continued budget of the military rests) to force the surveillance part.
Any contribution to our fight from the French-connnected subscribers to this list will be appreciated. I take the freedom to use the list in this manner because I doubt that anybody on it could desire the adoption in a European country (or any other) of such provisions.
Best,
Philippe _______________________________________________ nexa mailing list nexa@server-nexa.polito.it https://server-nexa.polito.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nexa
