@Rainmaker1973 France is implementing the EU directive on #PlannedObsolescence, as will every other member state.
Being united, the #EU is one the largest markets in the world, so we can set our standards for the manufacturers, protecting ourselves as consumers.
#TogetherWeAreStronger 💪🇪🇺

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

France has made planned obsolescence a criminal offense, becoming one of the first countries in the world to treat deliberate product shortening as a serious crime.

Manufacturers caught intentionally designing electronics, appliances, or other goods to fail prematurely or become unusable—whether through hardware flaws, software updates that slow performance, or other engineered limitations—now face steep penalties: up to 2 years in prison and fines reaching €300,000, or as high as 5% of their average annual turnover in the most serious cases.

This landmark law, building on France’s earlier consumer-protection framework and reinforced by high-profile scandals (such as the 2017–2018 investigations into smartphone “battery-gate” slowdowns), explicitly targets both physical and digital tactics used to push consumers toward frequent replacements.

The legislation is more than just punishment—it’s a cornerstone of France’s broader “right to repair” agenda. By criminalizing practices that drive premature disposal, the government aims to:

- Slash the massive environmental footprint of electronic waste,
- Protect consumers from hidden “forced upgrades,”
- Encourage manufacturers to prioritize durability, repairability, and longer-lasting support.

France’s tough stance sends a clear message to global tech and appliance companies: the era of disposable-by-design products is ending. By leading the charge on sustainability and consumer rights, the country is helping shift the world toward a more circular economy—one where goods are built to last, repaired when needed, and discarded only when truly necessary.

Remember the MAHA movement is a system of pseudoscience/grifting to finance wellness influencers. To push their various snake oils: supplements, unnecessary vitamins, ivermectin, or whatever they can buy in bulk to jack up the price, it’s essential to denigrate actual experts

🇦🇺 AHMED EL AHMED: THE CIVILIAN WHO STOPPED A MASSACRE - TOOK 2 BULLETS, SAVED DOZENS

Ahmed El Ahmed, 43. That's the name of the man who tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters mid-attack.

A father of 2. Local shop owner.

Shot twice... and expected to survive.

While 2,000 Jews ran from 50 rounds, Al Ahmed ran toward the gunfire. Disarmed one shooter before police even arrived.

That move is why this is 12 dead instead of 30.

Here's what nobody's saying out loud: Muslim name. Stopped Islamic terrorists executing Jews. That's not irony - that's choosing humanity over ideology when bullets are flying.

Naveed Akram and his accomplice came with pipe bombs, semiautomatic weapons, and a plan. Al Ahmed came with instinct and balls.

2 bullets later, he's alive and one shooter's neutralized.

Most people freeze during active shootings. Brain can't process the contradiction between "normal day" and "gunfire."

Al Ahmed's brain processed it, saw the angle, and moved. That's rare.

@LLinWood Oh, is that his much anticipated healthcare plan? Give me a break.

@politvidchannel But he doesn't take the Presidential salary, so it all breaks even, right? 🤡
