Despite the French Ministry of Interior’s demands, France will not ban the TOR anonymity network or Free public Wi-Fi as a way to help the law enforcement fight terrorism. An internal document indicated that French government wanted to block communications of TOR as well as ban the use of Free Public W-Fi during states of emergency in an effort to fight terrorism more efficiently. However, according to France PM, banning Encrypted Communications could affect the country’s economy and security. “Internet is a Freedom, is an extraordinary means of communication between people, it is a benefit to the economy,” Valls said.
