It's scary in a democratic Europe to even hear a politician suggest such a thing. It is so absurd that I really hope we never have to discuss it seriously in Parliament.
Well that's a stupid line too. You really don't want a true democracy, as then this black box would be implement just if more people are for it than against it. Every minor group would be abused as well, and less popular opinions probably would get you thrown into jail or killed.
The police had said they were particularly concerned about portions of the site showing identifiable photos of police officers, along with personal data â" including some cases in which officers are said to express far-right sympathies on social networks. The initial complaint against the site was filed by a Paris police officer who said he had received a bullet in his mailbox after his picture had appeared on the site.

Yeah, it's obvious Ballmer doesn't know how to make a successful company. He has only been the main guy handling the worlds largest computer technology company's finances since the beginning. On top of that he also seems to make lots of long-term plans (Xbox, Bing, even while they were hurting first), unlike competitors who just go for quick money grab. Such a bad business man.
