Right. And what happens when an Internet user in France opens a VPN connection that has an endpoint outside of France, and accesses information that the French government doesn't wish him to see?
You can prosecute the Internet user, of course. That's what happens in China, for instance.
You can try to detect VPNs and make it a crime to even try to create such a VPN. That's also what happens in authoritarian countries.
But is that the right way for France or other EU countries to go? No.
