    Same could be said for USA. Because the person above mentioned China, Iran, North Korea blocking media for political reasons. I mentioned that EU countries are doing the same. We should not have double standards.

      If france wants to ban american propaganda, I am sure no american will shed a tear lol

      Everyone agree that’s the state has authority over foreign bad actor speach. We are discussing here state censoring their own citizen’s peach which is highly problematic esp in so called “democracies”

        I strongly disagree. If they didn’t care they wouldn’t be buying media companies abroad.

        Not everyone agrees. Allowing a government to decide who is a bad actor and ban the media is bad, that’s how countries fall into dictatorships and create narrative for their citizens. Just look at nazi Germany.

          You are clearly missing the point and don’t understand how the laws work.

          As always working nAzI GerManY into dicussion lol

          All countries permit the state to censor foreign speach… Most citizens accept this, censoring citizen speach is the issue.
