France rejects ‘Guilt Upon Accusation’ law
(crossposted from CreativeFreedom.org.nz)
Associated Press reports that in an unexpected turnabout from the previous decision France has now rejected their Guilt Upon Accusation law – bringing them in line with European Union decisions to reject internet disconnection as a form of punishment. While the law passed in the lower house it was rejected by the National Assembly by a vote of 21 to 15. The EU had recently voted 481 in favour of rejecting internet disconnection, 25 against.
