Rumors rejected that France would ban public Wi-Fi and/or Tor "PM rules out ban on public Wifi"
http://www.connexionfrance.com/Wifi-internet-ban-banned-17518-view-article.html Police had called on the government to introduce a law aimed at "forbidding Wifi free and shared connections" to make it harder for terrorists to communicate. Internet network provider Tor, which provides online anonymity to users and does not disclose their location, was also targeted by security forces who wanted to "ban and block" the network's communications in France. The premier Manuel Valls said "a ban on Wifi is not a course of action envisaged" by the government. Nor was he in favour of a ban on Tor, he added. - - - But wait until you see what the next likely fascist government of France will do. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so.
