Statist because you can't use free wifi anonymously?

At least they tell you they are doing it I guess?

Other places probably just do it, but don't tell you.

That's just a Starbucks thing to get your info. I live in France, and elsewhere you are asked your email and phone number at most.

whenver you use 'free' wi-fi you always have to agree to the T&Cs first, even in the US. this is a non-issue and your outrage is unfounded.

Love how they sneak that in there at the bottom, hoping that some people will be tricked into thinking that checking that box is mandatory.


it looks like it's optional to check that, as in, there is no * next to the field.

I mean, there is. Just not a red one. Hence it might be seen as trying to trick people it is mandatory for people not checking properly.

hotspots in America do the same thing, pal. and if you don't like it, then don't mooch off of their free services. everything has a price and nothing is really free, Proudclad, you should know that.

What in the fuck? Plus there's cameras everywhere we go. All to "combat terrorism"


It's standard procdure .As for camras everywhere, try London.

And if some French soldiers as part of the vigipirate plan are adressing you DO NOT ANTAGONIZE THEM. They're soldiers not cops and will have zro qualms using force against you.

Though now that state of emergency is over it's unlikely you meet a patrol.

What are you doing in France this season anyway? Outside of a couple special Christmas clbrations in specific towns, there is nothing noticeable for tourists to enjoy.

Welcome to France anyway.Stay safe and try to enjoy your trip.

tourism. seen the eiffel tower and versailles already. gonna be seeing monaco, the louvre, the french alps, and more before i leave.

i was shocked at the number of armed soldiers patroling the attractions. armed to the teeth with full auto assault rifles. they even check people's bags and everything. all those cameras too.

basically it's like everyone here is a prisoner and big brother is eyeballing every move to "protect people from terrorism"

it's lunacy

edit: dont get me wrong, so far im enjoying every second. you have a beautiful country that is rich in awesome people and wonderful culture. it was just really jarring to see all the cameras, all the armed soldiers patrolling randomly, the blatant admission that you have no privacy online, etc.

basically the government here has normalized stalking and cajoling regular citizens, and this is a scary precedent for the future of freedom
