France bans TikTok (and Candy Crush) from government phones
It’s no shock to see another country banning TikTok from government phones, but France is taking the restrictions a step further. Le Mondereports the French government is banning “recreational” apps like TikTok, Twitter, Netflix and even Candy Crush from public servants’ devices. The apps represent cybersecurity risks that could jeopardize data for both the employees and the administration, according to the office of public service minister Stanislas Guerini.
The government hasn’t provided an exact list of banned apps. However, Guerini said certain there could be some exceptions for the sake of necessary communication. This won’t prevent a social media team from posting content, in other words. The ban takes effect immediately, but the penalties for defying the rule can be decided at the “managerial level,” Guerini’s office says. The approach doesn’t affect personal devices.
The clampdown comes after the US federal government, dozens of states, Canada, the European Commission and the UK have banned TikTok on their workers’ devices. In those cases, the rationale has been similar: officials are worried the Chinese government could collect data about important individuals, spread propaganda and compel ByteDance (TikTok’s parent company) to hand over sensitive information.
TikTok has repeatedly denied collaborating with the Chinese government. In testimony before a House committee yesterday, CEO Shou Chew said ByteDance was “not an agent of China” and that American user data wouldn’t be accessible to staff in other countries by the time a migration project wraps up later this year.
The French policy, however, isn’t aimed at any one country or app category. Instead, it represents a general concern that entertainment apps may put government data at unnecessary risk. That’s not so hot for employees hoping to watch Netflix during lunch, but it may reassure politicians worried employees might inadvertently expose info through their social media accounts.

Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul Ate Blue Meth Rock Candy On Set To Stay Awake
Appearing on the Hot Ones podcast recently, Bryan Cranston shared a behind-the-scenes story from Breaking Bad involving his co-star Aaron Paul eating the fake blue meth on set to help stay awake on long days. Cranston, who played Walt on the show, confirmed that the show’s iconic blue meth was actually cotton candy-flavored rock candy.
On one particularly long day of shooting–Cranston said it could have been as long as 17 hours–Cranston and Paul were filming a scene in the meth lab bunker. Cranston said he saw Paul reach into the “product,” grab a handful, and begin to pop the candy into his mouth.
“I go, ‘You can’t eat the product!'” Cranston said. Paul told Cranston he was so tired that he wanted to consume some sugar to help stay awake. Paul pressured Cranston into trying the rock candy again and again, but Cranston didn’t give in until Paul yelled, “Yo! Have one!” And to put an end to the matter, Cranston agreed to sample the product. “I tasted one, and was like, ‘That’s pretty good!'” he said.
I dressed my mom in my low-cut crop top – it looks better on her than me, guys ask for her Candy Crush username
A DAUGHTER has shared how striking her mother looked after she dressed her up in her clothes.
Some say her mom pulled it off better than the content creator with some guys asking for her Candy Crush username.
TikTok user Renata recently participated in the social media trend where daughters dress their mothers up in their clothes.
It sheds light on the notion that certain fashion choices can really play a factor in how old someone looks.
In a video on the platform, the 18-year-old gave viewers a glimpse at her mom’s fun personality and the teen’s sense of style.
Renata’s attractive mom pulled off the outfit so well because it cinched in her waist and showed off her curvy shape.
When the video began, her mother simply leaned against a doorframe and wore a bright white bathrobe.
Her long brown hair flowed around her and she did not have any makeup up, which let her natural beauty shine through.
She stepped back from the frame and shut the door behind her.
The outfit she opened the door wearing made her look like she was in her 20s.
The hot mom wore a long-sleeved black crop top that exposed her full bust and toned abs and paired it with deep khaki high-waisted dress pants.
She gave her best model walk as she walked the imaginary runway toward the camera.
Many men rushed to the comment section to praise Renata’s mom and also find her contact information.
“Candy crush username?” one viewer inquired.
“Facebook?” another chimed in.
“What’s her email?” a fan added.
“Man you didn’t even have to dress her up. I already knew she was gonna be top-notch,” an admirer wrote.
