Porn, social media: "We are moving from a nanny state to a censor state"

The article titled 'Porno, réseaux sociaux : 'Nous glissons d'un Etat nounou à un Etat censeur'' by L'Express discusses growing concerns in France regarding the increasing state control over internet content, particularly pornography and social media. It highlights a shift from a perceived 'nanny state' that overly protects citizens to a more authoritarian approach where the government is seen as censoring online material. The piece suggests that this trend reflects broader societal anxieties about privacy, freedom of expression, and the role of the state in regulating digital spaces. While the article does not provide specific legislative actions or detailed policy proposals, it frames the debate around the tension between individual freedoms and state oversight.
