This is very recent, so there is no telling how it will run.

How the word revenue is used in French in the article, this is the problem of translation. However, the tone of the article is not about for-profit websites, it is about websites that give instructions on the manufacture of explosives.

The Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie sent Friday to all police and gendarmerie training to organize an "active standby" to close internet sites hosted in France that would give revenue manufacture of explosives.
In this direction, which AFP has learned Friday evening, the minister request to deploy "great firmness" in this area, whether terrorist or not, when warning of revenue manufacture of explosives or devices in behavior.

If the host does not, the judicial authorities "will be seized", it provided the same source.

Thus, Thursday, the Interior Ministry has reported "Daily motion" a video showing a young explain how to make an explosive mixture was visible. The host in question "was immediately removed," said Place Beauvau.

Sometimes google translation sucks. The word used in the original French text is "recettes", and in this context it means recepies or formulas and has nothing to do with revenues.

I'm just confused. My one question is: What does the French government think it is when it can tell people what they can and cannot study or know? The only reason the US hasn't begun doing these things is because the constitution at least delays blatant attempts on our freedoms. The European countries are not so lucky I'm afraid.

Well, I can say, after having lived in France for 5 years, that the French government tries to do exactly that because they know what's best for you.

Isn't it beautiful? But it has quite a few buts and exceptions when you look closer.
A short while ago, the French passed a law making it illegal to believe that the Turks didn't committ genocide against the Armenians. Personally, I don't doubt for a second that the Turks committed genocide against the Armenians, but what the f*ck. I don't want a judge telling me what's historical facts and what's not.

iHME - If it make you feel any better, it isn't just Europe. Australia is now doing it with the "Clean Feed" idea. It's bullshit, and gives me the shits. Can't wait to see what happens if it gets through though.

Anonymous unite!
