France’s latest proposed law may just scare off one of its biggest digital champions. After the French Government revealed a proposed law, nearly one year in the works, last month, critics jumped on what they consider to be an overreach of the government’s power without checks & balances. Among the critics, Octave Klaba, Polish-born founder of OVH.com, Europe’s largest hosting service and the 3rd largest in the world, who, in an interview with Les Echos, likened the proposed law to the communism he saw as a child in his home country of Poland. Klaba went so far as to say that, should the law pass, OVH would move its servers outside of France to avoid it.
