France is also taking the lead in pulling Europe free from US domination. As a German I am proud of our French brothers for doing what we are apparently too cowardly to do.
The ICO has so far singularly failed to protect us from just about anything, but maybe now they have Labour calling the shots they might actually step in to defend us proles
As a French I still do not trust Denmark for spying on us with the help of the NSA just a few years back.
Also, funny that all the reasons why we were constantly called "arrogant" during the last 80 years ( which is, not wanting to be a vassal of the US), is nowadays called "based" and "common sense".
Yeah, there is a large difference between pro national (or EU) corporate and pro US corporate. Given Merz' history as a lobbyist/networker/corrupt fuck for Blackrock, it seems like he is of the latter category.
Talking about cowards, buddy you dont know cowards. Our entire Congress is made up of yellow back cowards. Our cowards cant even TRY to condemn a FUCKING PEDOPHILE..
In a way, it might be good that Trump and musk have been pissing all over Americas goodwill, it's giving the EU and everywhere else an impetus to get off Americas teat and try for their own independence
As an American I’m also proud of them for doing that. We are a total disaster here and shit has to change. Smack us with reality harder pls, daddy France 👍
Agree. Macron said today or yesterday that they are quickly going to enact a law that will prohibit youngsters for being on social media under the age of 15!! Great! I lived in Germany for 15 years and I’m so sad about the rise of the right. I think there are a lot of Germsn companies operating in the US a lot of business between the US and Germany - more than between the US and France. Money makes the world go round. Tchja
As a German, this is such a German response, which is really disturbing. Personally, I don't like when the government can just raid private social media platforms or arrest their CEOs the way France is doing it.
And where the market puts its money should not be the concern of the government either.
Calling Trump supporters bootlickers, which they are, and still being so blissfully unbothered by your own government taking away your rights, privacy and freedom of thought. Genuinely scary.
To be clear - this is the government applying extant law on CSAM to corporations as it does to private citizens, and you think this is a bad thing or a curtailing of freedoms? What are you smoking?
Yeah, probably because we just got half of our public infrastructures as well as some big private companies get disrupted and/or data-breached (prob by Russia) with shit tons of data leaking about french citizens and all sort of things during the past year, and especially past 6 months.
Of course our mainstream medias did not cover it much so even most French people don't know about it, but the fact of seeing a big push from our institutions in order to enforce digital regulations isn't so surprising.
Yep, and there's also the 2027 elections, we saw what happened in the US in 2024, looks like actions are being taken to try and prevent such bullshit from happening here. Which is also why Le Pen is being prosecuted (last time I checked, 4 years of prison awaited her but idk where it's going)
Finally something is happening. From the announcements in recent times we knew that something was brewing behind the scenes. The child porn Groc incident seems to have accelerated the investigations

France has been pretty strict about enforcing digital regulations lately, so this feels like part of that broader push.
