We're not done yet – here's what we need to do to stop browsers like Firefox from being forced to block websites

Browser-level blocking is amended, but we’ve not won yet: ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ [Mozilla ] [❤️ Mozilla ❤️]( [Donate]( Good news – together, we have taken a huge step forward in our fight to stop the French government from turning Firefox and other browsers into tools of censorship. On Friday, a special committee adopted an amended text that could remove the risk of browser level censorship from the proposed French tech bill SREN. In this committee, French lawmakers directly cited the concerns raised by Mozilla experts and our community. Over 65,000 people signed our petition calling on the French government to dump their plans to censor the web. What happened in the committee is a direct result of our campaign and shows that people power works. Multiple lawmakers offered amendments in our favor – one amendment was even titled the “Mozilla Amendment”. One thing is clear – our voices have been heard. But this fight isn’t over yet. These changes must pass through a few more hurdles: a plenary vote in the National Assembly, followed by discussions with the Senate and then a vote on the final agreement in both houses of the French Parliament. Our campaign is clearly working, but the next vote is happening in early October and some lawmakers are still pushing for harmful measures in the bill. To win, we need to keep up this momentum and increase the pressure on French politicians. [Please add a donation of $25 – or any amount that makes sense for you today – to get this campaign to stop browser-level blocking in France over the line. Together, we can prevent this dangerous precedent and stop any government from using browsers like Mozilla’s Firefox as censorship tools.]( [Donate →]( We don't have much time to stop this bill from turning browsers like Firefox into tools of censorship. Mozilla’s legislative advisors report that the next discussion of the bill will take place in the first half of October. The next few weeks are critical for us to ensure that all French politicians properly understand the ramifications of browser-level internet censorship. We have a plan – but we need your support for it. We're asking for your $25 contribution so that we can: - Set up a tool that will connect people in France to their representatives, allowing them to write to decision makers asking them to support these amendments; - Continue to connect lawmakers with tech and policy experts to show what browser-level blocking would mean for the future of the internet; and - Prepare for a potential public advertising campaign in order to mobilise more people to speak out against browser-level censorship. Mozilla is a non-profit organisation, and it is the millions of people like you who fight for the open internet that make this work possible. Our movement for the internet can remove browser-level censorship from this bill in France – and we are so close to winning. Can you add a donation to help get these amendments over the line?
