@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Date: Wed, 3 Jan 1996 Sender: •••@••.••• (Patrick Brennan) Subject: Compuserve Caves In Again As you may know, the French government is working hard to ensure that their language does not get "corrupted" by influences from other languages. They have recently begun strongly enforcing their law that at least 40% of all content of radio stations must be in French. In addition, they have complained to Compuserve that there is too much English on the Internet. In response, Compuserve has announced that they will henceforth restrict access worldwide to all Internet newsgroups which are written in English. This policy will take place immediately. =================================================================== Patrick Brennan •••@••.••• Check out my home page! http://world.std.com/~pbrennan Check out my robot! http://world.std.com/~pbrennan/ryobot.html =================================================================== @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~--~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~ Posted by Richard K.
