There is so much news like this coming from France lately. What is going on over there?

Huge wealth gap. Poor people are treated like shit. They're are hungry and angry. Historically, the French are quick to protest and the rich are doing what they can to stop it. I believe we're getting a glimpse of what is going to happen all over the world soon.

Better to not bring your phone during protests anyways.

I would suggest getting one of those faraday bags that block the signals to/from the phone. Then, if you really need it, you can still use it.

If you get arrested during a protest, they can force you to unlock the phone (it can be a felony to refuse) , so better not to bring it at all.
