EU wants IA to take down entire Project Gutenberg archive
This is madness and shows a trend to increasing geoblocking.

In the past week, Europol and the French government's L’Office Central de Lutte contre la Criminalité liée aux Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (OCLCTIC) have sent 500 "terrorism" takedown demands to the Internet Archive demanding the removal of tens of millions of works: the entire archive of Project Gutenberg; an archive of 15 million texts, the entire Grateful Dead archive, the Prelinger Archive of public domain industrial films (much beloved by the MTV generation as they were the source of the channels classic interstitial animations), and the Archive's collection of recordings from CSPAN.
The Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg are probably going to have to just block the entire EU so requests like this can be avoided.

The EU contacted the IA to say that it is not the EU, but the French government that issued the take down.

But it seems to me that issuing a "terrorist takedown" notice for material that is not terrorist is itself and act of terrorism.

The Global Village died a while ago. The Internet is well on its way into fracturing to multiple nets. One controlled by China, another by Europe, a third by Russia, and a fourth by the U.S. This is just one more step towards it.

What a brilliant law they have made and are trying to enforce. Stuff like this proves that politicians are just plain stupid, no matter what country they are in.

What's not clear is WHY the French classified the content in question as 'terrorist.' Some examples are linked on the IA blog.

This fits the trend of trying to regulate the Internet. The Chinese have done it for years but way more extreme. The EU has already been doing it. The UK just got on board with their 'Duty of Care' regulation. They claim it's for public safety and cite easy examples of terrorist and illegal activity that nobody will disagree with. But you can already prosecute those illegal things under existing laws. The powers that the EU and UK are giving themselves to regulate online content, are almost unlimited. They won't start out that way, but in the future almost anything they want can be defined as unsafe. This kind of national-level censorship risks fragmenting the Internet into the 'splinternet.'
