Depuis le premier jour, j’ai pris un engagement : protéger nos enfants en ligne. Nous irons au bout.

C’est chose faite. Après un travail technique rigoureux, le Gouvernement notifie aujourd’hui de nouvelles écritures à la Commission, un mois après la décision du Conseil. Cette protection doit aussi devenir la norme pour tous les enfant… English, from French From day one, I made a commitment: to protect our children online. We will see it through.

This has been done. After rigorous technical work, the Government is today notifying the Commission of new submissions, one month after the Council's decision. This protection must also become the norm for all children…

This is one of the best-kept secrets in San Francisco, since most people think it’s just a place to drink, but it actually has a very extensive food menu full of creative and excellent cuisine that’s basically a mashup of French, Latin American, Korean, Japanese, and Italian.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
