Two senators have presented a bill to address what is now openly described as a crisis in French football. The draft envisions sweeping reform to tackle "structural" issues, including broadcasting rights and the ever-present threat from illegal streaming services. On the table, seven years in prison and a €750,000 fine for pirate IPTV suppliers operating as a group, three years and €300,000 for those not, and a new crime of inciting use of pirate IPTV services or software.

Hopefully this time they won't use the Guillotine. Way too humane for the current rulers of France.

Depends how u use it. They often stacked multiple people up and the guy at the bottom would get half chopped and be just suffering their for ages.

Tearing them limb from limb with horses (or I guess these days they'd use cars) is more brutal though and could be made to go longer and be more painful. Crucifixion is also pretty horrible. There are way worse methods out there than the guillotine, even in your scenario of doing multiple people at a time. Methods designed to be slow and torturous by nature.

Wasn’t it more of a good problem than a free speech problem though

Kinda. The people wrote a list of demands before heads started rolling. Their speech was ignored and punished so they resorted to violence.

Sorry, I meant ”food problem”, but I guess your response is still an answer
