I'm waiting for the same EU HN users to start calling for the banning of all French citizens from the rest of Europe, and the blockading of all French online services, as they did with the US yesterday. Perhaps how all French citizens need to be punished so they'll force their government to change their behavior...

Maybe we'll see some German politicians talking about how bad French companies are for being complicit with their intelligence services and they need to make sure their citizens don't use any French services. But, I'm not holding my breathe - because, I'm sure that attacking France will do little for most politician's re-election chances over there.

[Edit: Down-votes? If you're going to disagree with me regarding the political opportunism and lack of criticism of France, then come out and say it.]
