Motivations for IRIS Mediation Experiment (1)

• Demonstrate that a censorship system should and could be avoided

  • National context : many tentatives to make ISPs liable for content access and hosting (96 : Fillonís amendment, 96-97 : Beaussant Commission)
  • International context : hot-line and ëself-regulationí systems making decision on what is illegal (no contradictory procedure,no appeal)

• Principles

  • What is illegal off-line is also illegal on-line
  • The ISP is only a technical intermediary with neither right nor ability to decide what is illegal
  • The content provider should be responsible for his/her content
