“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Thursday, April 25, the “reward” function of the new TikTok Lite application is suspended, after pressure from the European Union. Brussels refused to allow young Europeans to be guinea pigs on social networks, even though this feature offered to pay those who watch the most videos on the Chinese social network.

In the midst of the work of the Special Commission of the National Assembly on the bill on the end of life, the environmentalist deputy Sandrine Rousseau explained that she “helped her mother to die”, seriously ill and in “suffering”, while respecting her choice to end his life.

And then, an Iranian court sentenced a famous Iranian rapper to death for “corruption on earth,” one of the most serious charges in Iran. Toomaj Salehi is one of the figures of the resistance against the Islamic regime. He was imprisoned in 2022 for supporting protesters after the death of Mahsa Amini, arrested because she did not wear the veil.
