With this mentality, we'd have as many cultures as we have social networks... Pretty much one global dominant network. If that's the world you want, that's fine.

Well what do people want?! Is anyone asking?

If people aren't buying French literature from French bookshops without Government subsidy... then maybe people don't want that.

The French vote those people who enact these laws into office because they approve them.

If people wanted it anyway why would they need a law to enforce it?

I want to shop locally. I don’t vote for a law to require myself to shop locally. I just go ahead and shop locally.

The only need for a law is to force someone who doesn’t want to shop locally to do so against their will!
