Fuming PSG fans protest after Messi ban and chant ‘Neymar f*** off’ outside star’s HOUSE amid fury at club ownership
FURIOUS Paris Saint-Germain fans turned up outside of the club’s headquarters to PROTEST after Lionel Messi was suspended for two weeks.
The footballing superstar was handed the suspension following an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia.

Messi, 35, became a tourist ambassador for the Gulf State last year after agreeing a £25million deal to promote the country.
The forward reportedly missed PSG training on Monday, with the club’s Qatari bosses coming down hard on Messi as a consequence of his trip.
But PSG fans arrived in their droves outside of the club’s head office following the ban and after the club suffered a 3-1 loss to Lorient at the weekend.
The protest saw fans ignite flares while holding up banners calling on the club’s management to resign.
One banner said: “Leadership resign.”
A second read: “PSG who are you,” while a third had on it: “Where are you going?”
PSG fans also protested outside Neymar’s house[/caption]
The club’s superstars were not spared from the protests either with one chant outside of the club’s HQ going: “Messi, son of a b****.”
A group of PSG Ultras also turned up outside of Neymar‘s house.

In a video taken at the scene, they could be heard chanting: “Neymar casse-toi” which translates to go away but in slang and general use means “f*** off.”
The club released a statement slamming the actions of the supporters.
It said: “Paris Saint-Germain strongly condemns the intolerable and insulting actions of a small group of people, which took place this Wednesday.
“Whatever the differences, nothing can justify such acts. The Club gives its full support to its players, its management and all those affected by these shameful behaviours.”
Messi is now set to leave the club after two underwhelming years in Paris, following the move from the French league leaders.
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague told the BBC that “neither club nor player” want to renew Messi’s expiring deal at the end of the season.
And reports suggest his trip to Saudi could be indicative of his future, with the Argentine heavily linked with a transfer to a club in the nation.
This could likely see him reignite his feud with Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently stars for title-chasing Al-Nassr.
However, many teams remain keen on the World Cup winner, including a host of Premier League and European sides.
Pep Guardiola could be in line for a reunion at Manchester City, while cross-town rivals Manchester United would also be keen to get their hands on Messi, though this may depend on the club’s new ownership.
Money spinners Chelsea and Newcastle have been linked too, while the door is open for Barcelona to bring their best-ever player home with Inter Miami also linked in the past.
Montana’s Governor’s Changes To TikTok Ban Bill Would Ban All Social Media Entirely
“‘Surely,’ you might think, ‘that just covers the data platforms amass by monitoring and tracking us, right?’ Perhaps not. The bill doesn’t define the term, so who knows what it means in their heads. But we have an idea of what it means out in the real (online) world, by way of the regulations implementing the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Those regulations include in the definition of ‘personal information’ things like: First and last name; Online contact information; A screen or user name where it functions in the same manner as online contact information. In other words, the types of information that accompany virtually every piece of content posted on social media. If a platform allows that kind of information to be provided to any foreign adversary or a person or entity located within a foreign adversary, it is banned from Montana.
Do you know who might be persons located within a country designated as a foreign adversary? Users. Users who are provided the kinds of ‘personal information’ that are inherent in the very concept of social media. So, effectively, the bill would ban any social media company that allows any user in China, Russia, Iran, or Cuba to see content from a Montana user (and this is a generous reading, nothing in the bill seems to require that the data/information shared be from a Montana resident). On top of it, each time a user from one of those countries accesses content, platforms would be subject to a $10,000 fine. Do you know which platforms allow people in those countries to access content posted in the United States? All of them. Congratulations, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte. You just managed to accidentally ban all social media for Montanans. Good work.”

The FTC Is Trying to Ban Meta From Using Kids’ Data
The Federal Trade Commission proposed a “blanket prohibition” that would ban Meta from monetizing children’s data Wednesday. The FTC says Meta—the company formerly known as Facebook—failed to comply with an existing 2020 privacy order by misleading parents about the control they have over Facebook Messenger, and…
The FTC wants to ban Meta from profiting from kids’ data
Meta is in hot water with the Federal Trade Commission once again after the agency proposed more sanctions against the company, which has allegedly failed to fully comply with a 2020 privacy order. Among other things, the agency has proposed a blanket ban on monetizing data Meta collects from users aged under 18, whether they use Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram or Quest virtual reality headsets.
The proposed sanctions, which the FTC seeks to apply as part of an update to the 2020 order, include a ban on Meta launching new products, services and features unless an assessor confirms that the company is in full compliance with its obligations. Additionally, Meta would have to get explicit consent from users before employing facial recognition tech. All of these measures, plus others the FTC has proposed to strengthen aspects of the 2020 order, would apply to companies that Meta buys or merges with.
The FTC issued the most recent privacy order, which is in place for 20 years, as part of a $5 billion settlement that Meta (then known as Facebook) reached with the agency over the Cambridge Analytica scandal. At the time, the FTC determined that Meta had broken a 2012 order concerning user data privacy. Along with allegedly failing to comply with the 2020 order, Meta has violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), according to the FTC.
“Facebook has repeatedly violated its privacy promises,” Samuel Levine, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement. “The company’s recklessness has put young users at risk, and Facebook needs to answer for its failures.”
Among other things, Meta allegedly misled parents over how much control they have over who their children can communicate with through the Messenger Kids app. The FTC says that, between 2017 and mid-2019, children were able to chat with unapproved contacts through the app in violation of the 2012 order and COPPA.
Moreover, the agency says that Meta continued to provide third-party developers access to user data, despite pledging in 2018 to revoke access to the information if users hadn’t accessed their apps within a 90-day period. According to the FTC, Meta allowed third-party developers to maintain access to user data in certain situations until some point in 2020.
An assessor that the FTC appointed to ensure Meta’s compliance with the 2020 order found that there were several flaws with the company’s privacy program. In its Order to Show Cause, the FTC said that “the breadth and significance of these deficiencies pose substantial risks to the public.”
Moreover, the agency says that Meta continued to provide third-party developers access to user data despite pledging in 2018 to revoke access to the information if users hadn’t accessed their apps within a 90-day period. According to the FTC, Meta allowed third-party developers to maintain access to user data in certain situations until some point in 2020.
Meta has called the FTC’s move “a political stunt.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the potential impact on its business, Meta is gearing up for a legal battle with the agency. “Despite three years of continual engagement with the FTC around our agreement, they provided no opportunity to discuss this new, totally unprecedented theory,” the company said in a statement that spokesperson Andy Stone shared on Twitter.
“Let’s be clear about what the FTC is trying to do: usurp the authority of Congress to set industry-wide standards and instead single out one American company while allowing Chinese companies, like TikTok, to operate without constraint on American soil. FTC Chair Lina Khan’s insistence on using any measure — however baseless — to antagonize American business has reached a new low. We have spent vast resources building and implementing an industry-leading privacy program under the terms of our FTC agreement. We will vigorously fight this action and expect to prevail.”
