Civil liberties?
France has created a new law that bans citizen journalists from reporting violence. With this law,French citizens cannot film or broadcast acts of violence. While this is meant to prevent people committing violent acts just so their buddies can film them and blog about it, it is a law that can be used to silence people who disagree with the government. In essence French citizens no longer have the right to gather evidence of violent crimes perpetrated by agents of the government.
