Riots In France

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

The American Summer of Love 2020 has morphed and migrated to France. Anyone remember the Yellow Vest movement aka Yellow Vests Protests or Yellow Jackets Protests or Yellow Vests Revolution? It started in Nov 2018 and it's still raging on...Violence, property damage, vandalism, barricades, rioting, looting, burning parties. Always a spark somewhere that keeps it going and this time I guess it was the teen who was killed by cops.

More than 200 police were injured on Thursday night, and more than 900 people were arrested, Darmanin said, adding their average age was 17.

He has asked social media to remove "the most sensitive" footage of rioting and to disclose identities of users fomenting violence. Darmanin met representatives from Meta, Twitter, Snapchat and TikTok. Snapchat said it had zero tolerance for content that promoted violence.

Dunno if anyone here uses Snapchat, but for live, developing, hostile events it gives you a quick view on what is going on up close. Course, like everything else these days it too also censors.

Nope. I don't have any social media apps. I use FB when needed. Tracking down animals and occasionally to access the job website. The only time I am on the internet and it is not work, is either here or TOS.

I don't believe that the internet is our friend. I might do a thread on the ills of the internet. Maybe not. I would be just echoing everything that we already know.
