In fact, my description of the planned regulation was slighltly
incomplete: cutting personal access to the Net is only one part of the
scheme; an other part aims at filtering the Net, by commanding ISPs to
bring down any site reported to infringe on copyright law.
This part more directly concerns tuxfamily as a content provider, and
this was probably the point they wanted to make.

Further reading here (in French, sorry):

Of course, you would argue that the law is targeted towards providers
of illegal content. Of course, tuxfamily does not violate any
copyright law which I know of ; but bear in mind that a conglomerate
of French record companies (SPPF) has recently sued SourceForge about
hosting some file-sharing applications ... Such preposterous actions
might then become commonplace ...
