These are the sites “spreading hate speech” which are targeted. They will be “listed and reported to the Computer Crime Unit of the Federal Police who will take action“, adds the press release.

The measure goes even further: “For each site propagating hate speech and fake news on the Evras guide, an investigation will also, and systematically, be launched in order to determine the funding flows.“.

We do not touch the school which must be a safe place for our children and adolescents. We live in a country of tolerance where debate is permitted but where violence cannot govern this debate. Sex education has been one of the pillars of our public health for years. It also allows children and adolescents to become aware of their physical integrity and their rights.” repeated the Prime Minister
