It seems to me the censorship is the wrong here. Here is a thing that is actually happening in the world, and they want to ban the evidence of it. I've seen those videos, and they're horrific. Censoring them to keep from recruiting is also keeping the public from being aware how evil they are. I don't care the least bit about Le Pen or her political stance, and know nothing of French politics. All I know is hiding the evidence of atrocities is putting your head in the sand.

This is why this law is pushed before the legislative elections. Either the current government rejects it and is basically purged by the voters who almost all want this to pass, or they accept it and maybe hope to stay a bit longer. Although both scenarios will boost Macron's party results in the elections, which doesn't bode well for the sitting government.
