🚨 FRENCH SENATE TAKES UP “RIOTERS PAY” BILL If passed, rioters would have to pay for damage caused during the recent unrest across France. Senators will also vote on whether the government can block platforms that are too slow to act on authorities’ reports of dangerous content. The proposed law faces backlash from rights groups and some lawyers. Source: France 24, The Straits Times #France #FrenchBill #Rioters
