3. Stolen from DAD from below

… and shamelessly turned into a post item of my own:

France. Macron passed legislation to ban under-15s from social media. The Constitutional Council says this unduly inhibits the free expression of adults:

However, by failing to specify the conditions ​and limits under which such ​proof must ​be provided, the legislature has ​not established the legal safeguards necessary to ensure compliance with these requirements.”

“By prohibiting minors under the age of fifteen ⁠from accessing certain online services, the law inherently ​requires every person, even an adult, to prove their age before accessing them.

This gross wankery which Them are now heavily into has ZERO to do with safeguarding children … it’s to hit western adults with a pretext to withold access to the net, even to our own funds … it’s completely about controlling us plebs who have found an outlet for expression.

It’s patently obvious that I’m no spring chicken … a quick glance at the old N.O. says that I started the blog in 2006. Not that I was born in 2006. Ditto with NOWP. The NHS and HMRC are quite happy with my birth year being what it is. So why would I be refused services elsewhere?

It’s because I will NOT play this control game, where the ONLY proof is something Them approve. There is heaps of other proof.

a) France. Macron passed legislation to ban under-15s from social media. The Constitutional Council says this unduly inhibits the free expression of adults:

However, by failing to specify the conditions ​and limits under which such ​proof must ​be provided, the legislature has ​not established the legal safeguards necessary to ensure compliance with these requirements.”

“By prohibiting minors under the age of fifteen ⁠from accessing certain online services, the law inherently ​requires every person, even an adult, to prove their age before accessing them.

b) France opens disciplinary case against its ambassador over young women at Bangui residence

Bruno Foucher, one of France’s most senior diplomats, acknowledged having sexual relations with two of the local women, the weekly magazine reported.

c) Ceuta to ‘hold migrants in warehouses’ as they await deportation – after several accused of sexual assault

Up to 8,000 of the more than 70,000 illegal migrants breached the Spanish enclave’s borders month reportedly remain in the territory.

d) Nothing to celebrate: Fidel Castro’s centenary and Cuba’s kleptocratic legacy.

e) Trump’s race to launch Nuclear Micro-reactors changes everything – (An Australian led team built one in just 150 days).
