In its judgment, the Paris court ordered these operators, including the main ones, Orange, SFR, Free and Bouygues Telecom, to block access to this site within 15 days maximum, and this in a "final and unlimited".

The court ordered Tuesday nine telecom operators to permanently block a far-right site with hate content of racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic, "participatory democracy" , at the request of the Paris prosecutor.

It was the first time that the parquet floor of Paris asked the blocking of a site by this procedural way.

The court found that it was not necessary to order this blocking on call, in particular because the operators had indicated that they would carry out such a decision if it was pronounced.

This site represents a threat to public order

Judges of interim measures - an emergency procedure - considered that this site threatens "public order" , denouncing "words of extreme violence and that urge at the same time the passage to the violent act against people in reason of religion, origin or sexual orientation " .

The site of extreme right appeared in 2016 is the subject of several investigations, including Paris and Grenoble, but the investigations did not identify its authors and hosts at this stage. The parquet floor therefore had no choice but to target the operators.

The Breton ultranationalist blogger Boris Le Lay is behind the site

Fifteen lawyers representing anti-racist associations and individuals targeted by the site were present at the hearing on November 8.

"It is highly likely that this site is the work of Boris Le Lay," said Patrick Klugman, lawyer SOS Racisme.

Boris Le Lay is a Breton ultra-nationalist blogger who has been repeatedly sentenced to stiff prison terms, particularly for his racist positions. He lives abroad, presumably in Japan, a country with which France has no extradition convention.
