Photo: AFPA student in Paris has bought several domain names linked to far-right news website Breitbart in the hopes of blocking it from opening in France, according to reports. But the team may have run into an unexpected obstacle - a French student determined to keep them from France. The student, named Antonin by The Verge news site , bought the domain names breitbart.fr, breitbartnews.fr, and breitbartnewsnetwork.fr in a bid to block the French launch. "When I saw that they wanted to launch in France I was really afraid, because I thought it could work really well in France," the student told The Verge. He added that he had no intention of selling the domain names - no matter the offer - and had considered redirecting traffic to a non-profit organization.
