To limits district of the very speedily we agreed to enforce external borders by closing coordinates temporary wish to action of essential travel to the e. U. Folk preview it or so to do this france meanwhile has put the entire country of 67000000 people on what down army trucks have been seen in the streets of paris with large numbers of Police Officers being deployed to ensure compliance with the bin secure reports now on the nationwide quarantine. France is now on lockdown Strict Lockdown that would be in school the government has talked about deploying 100000. 00 Police Officers to set up fixed points to check people who are in their vehicles the word from the government everybody in france is to self isolate president mark warner was incredibly clear when he came to the president ial address on monday night in fact the one thing that came through over and over is the problem is that. We are at war helped war to be sure we are not fighting another army new another nation but the enemies that are invisible and elusive that decision came to the french took the calls to stay at home and self isolate too likely in fact while bolzan restaurants were being closed all around them and many here in paris came out to the parks to picnic to meet their friends all to sit by the same and do the same but no more. The government has announced new measures to limit new infections by limiting contact between people as much as possible to amplify the impact of this measures paris parks and gardens will be closed. Restriction these are really centered around self isolation to people who have been told that they can leave their homes but the very specific reasons that could be to go for a medical appointment it could be to top up on Food Supplies or it could be to go for a walk for Health Reasons anybody leaving their property has also been told that they need to have one of the existing practice tests to just state why hed been leaving their home for some of those reasons that i just outlined anybody who is cool flouting that law or court going out for a walk just socialize with their friends rather than for Health Reasons could face a fine of up to 135 years.

Holding the municipal elections is completely incomprehensible and contradicts the measures announced by the Prime Minister i hope that the government will take responsibility and change its mind as the lockdown began or maybe play to the city possibly going to some of the homes here to stay for friends and family anything to not be isolated to give this time but merge it see here in france this idea of self isolation is something that many people fear many people who live below the idea of not having enough social contact face to face for a 15 day period is something that they dreading in fact Something Else that they dreading is the fact that the government has said its a 15 day minimum and that this could be extended but many people here try to just have no idea when their lives are going to return to normal charlotte people ski artsy in paris during the long time. Its only remains one of the countrys worst hit by the virus Health Care Workers there say that they cannot cope with the impacts of patients and also complain of exhaustion from overwork but we spoke to a nurse in the city of chens or which is one of the worst affected areas.

Remember when only china had to deal with the coronavirus the west had plenty to criticize about beijings handling of the crisis back then when europe and the us didnt have to get their hands dirty. Measures should also be implemented with consideration to the publics willingness to comply with government control efforts now that the critics are in the same situation that china was in just a month ago it seems like they werent creative enough to come up with their own solutions after the coronavirus ravaged europe governments across the continent started in forcing locked out people confined to their homes streets virtually empty just like in china at the height of the outbreak the. Gatherings family get togethers and social functions will no longer be permitted walking to meet friends in the park or on the streets will no longer be possible any elderly daredevils that venture out of their homes could face hefty fines or even a police baton and all the while militaries across the continent are mobilizing in switzerland its the biggest since world war 2 and in france army convoys are becoming a regular sight in the suburbs.

If the hamster can do it so can you. With the world distracted by the pandemic u. S. Lawmakers are hoping to push through a controversial rule that some do say would end previously online critics will that the u. S. Government is trying to unlock graces the violence posed in the guise of fighting the spread of online child abuse imagery has the story. Now if you follow the goings on in the u. S. Congress youll know that they often take advantage of moments when big news is happening to slip through controversial legislation and the coronavirus has given them a big ideal opportunity they call it the earn it bill that stands for eliminating abusive rampant neglect of interactive technologies Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal have introduced it saying that the aim is to protect children from online sexual predators to goal systems available to the. Dream come true for child predators for every good thing this happened with the internet for lack of a better term there are dark forces that need to be dealt with now its certainly a noble goal no one wants kids to be in danger but this bill could also crack down on end to end encrypt ship. Eliminating the ability of americans to protect Sensitive Data from hackers criminals the government or their employers essentially the bill holds Internet Service providers accountable for any information that gets posted by users whether they know about it or not our bill would allow individuals to see you Tech Companies dont take proper steps to prevent online china exploitation and its an important step to protect the most vulnerable among us however under this law the only way that Internet Companies cannot be held liable for what users write in private messages is if they fully comply with government standards standards written by an unelected commission now one of the bills cosponsors made very clear where he stands on encryption so facebook. Is talking about in the in encryption which means they go blind. Were not going to go blind and let this abuse go forward in the name of any other freedom sure hyper encryption can be used by criminals sexual predators and terrorists but its also a protection that americans have against government surveillance voices from across the spectrum from Edward Snowden to the head of whatsapp are outraged the government is attempting to exploit anger at Tech Companies to pass a law that intentionally undermines Digital Security and sense of speech that such a low res being considered by congress is a National Disgrace absent clear protections for encryption urn it has the potential to make people less safe not more but reducing the security of the over 2000000000. 00 people who use whatsapp to communicate not to mention all the other encrypted services as well the bill deals with a very serious issue of Child Exploitation on line but it offers no Meaningful Solutions rather the bills authors have shrewdly use defendant children as the pretense for intact the now of free speech and security online now the bill is yet to become law but in a situation like this with one big story dominating the headlines will people even notice if it does it look up and r. T. New york bone cofounder of the syphon christian software does think that will make his are using the coronavirus distraction to pull off a power grab or think that the government wants to let any good crisis go to waste so i definitely do think theyre trying to take advantage of the fact that people arent paying as much attention right now and theyre distracted by the pandemic and the panic that comes with that and trying to push this through and just say its a no brainer because it helps children i mean it particularly matters for encrypted because there would be no way d d to. In fact these best practices that doesnt undermine what and tent encryption does in order to be able to say scan content for abusive material the content would have to exist as plain text somewhere and even if you trust big Tech Companies and the government not to infringe on your privacy or not to do anything bad with it that also exposes that information potentially to hackers so stablish is some pretty broad powers and gives them to the government for regulating Tech Companies and how we do things online this bill might be car
