The French agency told the Archive it needed to take down
that content within 24 hours or the Archive may get blocked
in France.
The appropriate response, I think, would be "then block us", and then back up and take out of public view any French material. It is just as well: Fewer people would be able to read them, because French is being dropped as public school curriculum throughout the country due to cost and a growing sense of irrelevance.
The phrase "internet services will have no choice" is not clear. Does it mean they must censor in France, or censor everywhere? If it is just in France, then those 'internet services' will have to do what Google would have done anyway, and create a dumbed-down version of their services for the European market. Either that, or pull out entirely. It is not as if the Minitel country is of any importance to the Internet, right?
On U.S. 69 going north at Atoka, take U.S. 75 north and west to Coalgate. At Coalgate, follow north Main Street off of U.S. 75 onto state road 31. Keep on state road 31 out of Coalgate and past Cottonwood. At the intersection of state roads 31 and 131, take route 131. The road will join U.S. 69 near Reynolds Lake, far north of Springtown, bypassing the town entirely.
It probably would have been better if the engineer had been demoted to a position that would keep him out of the accounts and GMail/Chat databases, yet let him keep doing useful work for Google.
