[HN] Will Browsers Be Required by Law to Stop You from Visiting Infringing Sites?

In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list.

I don't agree that it's "well-intentioned" at all but the article goes on to point out the potential for abuse by copyright holders.

No, I thought "Cheese Pizza" ist just an acronym for inappropriate pictures and videos of children. Tell me if I'm mistaken (English is not my first language).

Nah you are good. Cheese pizza as an acronym for you know what has been around longer than pizza gate.

I guess it's a joke on the fact that the US have a passion for acronyms: that inappropriate material is referred to as CP, nowadays even as CSAM.
