Reuters reports that France has installed nation-wide Internet filters in state schools to keep students away from racist and anti-Semitic web sites.
"A direct Internet link will be established between the CRIF [umbrella group of French Jewish organizations], Internet service providers (ISPs) and the Central Office for the Fight against Internet Crime to allow the immediate notification of racist and anti-Semitic sites and the launching of police investigations." . . .
France, home to Europe's largest Muslim and Jewish minorities, has been struggling to contain a flare-up of anti-Semitic violence in the past three years as Middle East tensions led to attacks on Jewish people and property here.
I guess it's good to know that our government and our Supreme Court agree with France's government on something. (Yes, I'm aware these cases are different. But the spirit, I think, is the same.)
