Not to say that they are technically literate, but the average age of French lawmakers (which are just the members of parliament) is 50 years old.

It's actually the same as the average age of voting-age French citizens, so they are quite representative on this regard.

These 80yo lawmakers have kids and grandkids and advisers. They know how social media works.

They hate social media because it gives people the power to talk in public about them with near impunity. They want to go back to the old days when if you wrote a letter to the newspaper about potential corruption or wrongdoing among the "more equal animals" you'd get pulled over for a light out whenever you went through that town for the next 20yr.

For the record, that is exactly my point . I do not want yet another sword of Damocles for websites, even less if it depends on the mood of a clueless judge.
