    “Not so bad” at what? They’re doing this out of their own interests. It doesn’t mean at all that they care about the privacy of their constituents, and in fact they’re one of the worst offenders.

      It’s a fairly widespread Internet meme, I think in order to make fun of France, though I’m not sure exactly where it originated.

      Maybe someone can get upset by reading that word?


      On a serious note, though, on my first semester at graphic design a teacher once told us that some day (here in Bogotá, Colombia) a punk wearing a jacket or something with a struck though swastica waiting for the bus near the uni. Some old lady saw him and the swastica and passed out on the spot. Apparently she was a jewish migrant or something. I never even imagined such things could happen here but the point was to be aware of the things you use in your communications

        Must be US people? Because I don’t know anyone else who is offended by “fuck” and ok with “f*ck”.
