See here for details on a new deal struck between French authorities and ISPs to block "sites carrying child pornography or content linked to terrorism or racial hatred". The deal was announced by the French interior minister, and it seems that the French will use their upcoming EU Presidency to promote a similar scheme Europe-wide.
I would like to see the terms of the agreement - particularly as regards the hate speech and anti-racism provisions, which seem to me to be open to potentially wide interpretation and which can result in user-driven censorship rather than user-driven removal of child porn.
