France has no more right to compel Mozilla to incorporate censorship into its web browser than it has to force authors to incorporate a paragraph of text praising the French Republic at the start of every book they write. I refuse to believe that things are so far gone in France that this law will not be knocked over if Mozilla pushes forcefully against it.

3 out of 4 of these demands presented in the link are measures for more transparency. I do not understand the parallels you're trying to draw?
