Teen in the dock on terror apologist charge for naming Wi-Fi network 'Daesh 21' An 18-year-old broke France's anti-terror laws by naming his home Wi-Fi network "Daesh 21" – after the medieval murder bastards ISIS. The unnamed teen was given a three-month jail sentence, suspended for now, after he was found guilty of essentially publicly condoning a terrorist act or group. According to daily newspaper The …
This story seems to be repeated by a number of news sites, but none of the big French papers and the more reputable French papers are keen to point out that they aren't reporting first hand.
But if true it would be interesting to know how the court drew any conclusion about support from just one noun.
Does it count as support if I make it open, allow anyone to connect, but redirect all web traffic to a goatse.cx (or wherever that wonderful picture resides today)?
I used to have that set-up (with a different SSID). You needed a VPN to get out. Anyone without credentials on the VPN concentrator had a choice of goatse or goatse for their afternoon browsing session.

"redirect all web traffic to a goatse.cx"
Well, I guess its a strategy to be arrested for Making an Obscene image under the UK Extreme Pornography laws instead of being arrested as a terrorist sympathiser under s.44/45.
Comedy is a hard career choice these days, it appears!

It would be interesting to know if the French media, police or courts know that daesh is a word that IS find offensive and if they know that's the reason the name is used in western media - because it actively pisses them off.
Using the word daesh in an IS controlled area will get you relieved of your tongue.
Or Robin Hood Airport <postcode>.
For crying out loud - this is just giving the terrorist b******ds a propaganda victory.
Maybe the internets will explode as a result. Someone should be banged up for aiding tererists.
I sometimes wonder who the real enemies are. This was a somewhat mocking joke at the expense of a bunch of particularly evil killers. Getting upset at that kind of thing is what THEY excel at.
Only icon suitable for that kind of stupidity.
NB.
1. READ THE KEY TO THE ICONS. SECURITY CLOWNS. IT'S HYPERBOLIC COMMENT - NOT A THREAT - YOU'RE NOT WORTH A SPENT MATCH.
2. AS FAR AS WE KNOW ISIS DON'T HAVE A NUCLEAR DEVICE. FRANCE DOES. GET THE INFERENCE?

Familiarise yourself with Section 90 of the Police Act 1996 - then change it to GCHQ or something which won't get you a substantial fine for an offence which will continue to cause you hassle for years. Most coppers will just laugh, but there's one in every nick who'll pursue that.
@Adam JC You should set it to GCHQ_Monitoring_Hub_117
That way, it would suggest there are at the very least another 116
Ahem...
116? They're called ANPR/aka. Tax Disc Evasion cameras, and there are about 117,000 of them. They clock you in, they clock you out, they are strategically placed at 'pinch points' - all towns will have them on roads in/out of said town. Welcome to Britains' Open Prison, its here, working now, with TM in as Prison Governor.
One of mine says "VIRUS ALERT!". I was hoping that it would scare people away or get a giggle. However, I would not expect to be charged with false advertising or causing public panic. Presumably the young French chap had the same idea. I am certainly not spreading or promoting any virus.

Is the B team editing articles today? Or are we down to the C team?
"the medieval murder bastards" - perhaps missing an "ing"?
"he did note pose a terrorism" - too many "e"s?
"he was not terrorist" - too few "a"s?
You, sir, are a terrorist against the English language. Yes, I'm well aware there is a Tips and corrections link, but that would involve linking web browsing with email. A web form would be so much better!
Sadly for many women who were unfortunate enough to have been living in the affected areas, these particular nutjobs are sufficiently non-dickless that their dick-related activities are on a par with their murderous ones. Kinda makes a mockery of any pretence they might have of being true to Islamic principles, but no surprise there.
Perhaps sex-mad homocidal heretics would be a more accurate term. I dunno. It's a tough one.
