Wtf? There is a law in France requiring businesses to keep logs of the names of people who use WiFi? No one ever asked my name when I used WiFi in France.

It would automatically log your MAC address, and whatever other information about your computer or phone.

The state loves them some mass surveillance, so many uses. No down side (for the state).

You were probably in Belgium, but you just didn't know it.

Same language, different country.

No one in Belgium is keeping track of who uses wifi. Infact most places dont have wifi HAH
