New laws in France have massive implications for the rest of the world. Twitter will be forced to reveal the real names of users who use racist and anti-semitic language. These names will be handed over to the police when needed for cases. What does this mean for social networking? Will we finally be able to prosecute people who use offensive language online? Where will we draw the line between what is offensive and what isn't? Is it the same "crime" if you come up with the comment as if you retween what someone else has said?
