The legal basis is simply an open abuse of French man-made law.
It proves again that all communications on the internet should be anonymous by default. Facebook, for example, creates very serious problems by demanding the use of real-world names.
French man-made law is totally powerless against anonymous users.
If we ever want to revert to Divine Law, we should strive to make man-made law powerless.
There are two measures that even this forum could take in order to achieve that:
[1] not to ask email addresses (similar policy as reddit)
[2] additionally expose the website on the tor network (as even facebook does)
On the medium run, it would be advisable to also drop support for the .com domain. It is governed by man-made law. It is, in fact, not really suitable for a site that would seek to be governed by Divine Law. They routinely block access, confiscate domains, and attack site owners just for speech that they do not like, notwithstanding the provisions laid out in the 1969
Brandenburg versus Ohio ruling concerning the freedom of political speech.
Man-made law cannot be trusted. Man-made law is not meant to bring justice. Man-made law is primarily meant to justify injustices. That is why there cannot be free speech unless you are completely anonymous. You should be able to can speak without the threat of violence by the powers that be. They will ignore their own man-made law, if that suits them. They will invent new man-made law to attack your views, if that suits them. There is no way that this could ever go right.
Of course, as servants of the singular God and believers in Divine Law, we are still not allowed to engage in blasphemy, slander, or deception. A site for use by believers will still have no other option than to keep enforcing these provisions, as these requirements are promulgated by the scriptures themselves.
Another measure sorely needed for any site, is to keep distance from the government-controlled riba/interest-infested banking system, which also routinely censors payments and puts site managers under pressure to implement man-made policies.
The believers will indeed have to install a few programs and gradually learn how to use these technologies, but since it liberates their online activities from the arbitrary and obnoxious harassment of man-made law, and brings them under the equitable governance of Divine Law, the believers could actually be interested and willing to do that. The tools are not that hard to use, especially if they are willing to learn. They could even see it as an act of faith.
I personally specialize in the construction, maintenance, and security of bitcoin platforms on the tor network. I am certainly interested in volunteering to help religious sites to get rid of their existing vulnerability to orchestrated pressure and even outright attacks by treacherous man-made law.
