Despite the French Ministry of Interior’s demands to crack down on Internet anonymity, Prime Minister Manual Valls has gone on record saying he won’t allow such a thing to pass:
The premier Manuel Valls said “a ban on Wifi is not a course of action envisaged” by the government. Nor was he in favour of a ban on Tor, he added. “…Internet is a freedom, is an extraordinary means of communication between people, it is a benefit to the economy.”
Mr Valls said he understood the security services’ need for tough measures to fight terrorism but stressed that those measures had to be “effective”.
