The French government announced today a plan to hold web companies
accountable for any extremist messages they may host, Bloomberg
reports. French president Francois Hollande wants to introduce a law
that would make companies like Google and Facebook "accomplices" in
crimes of hate speech if users post content the government deems
extremist.

Apparently, Europe wants to censor the world.
