(The Magazine Plus Editorial):- Delhi, India Jul 17, 2023 (Issuewire.com) – Playing online video games requires instantaneous control responses from their controls; any delay could ruin the experience for gamers who expect their controls to respond instantly.

Latency refers to the time between when an action request is sent and its execution. This delay can be measured using two metrics: round trip time (RTT) or time to first byte (TTFB).

A press release appearing to be from the French government, claiming that the internet is being restricted in certain neighbourhoods across France, is being shared online. But the press release is fake. 

The posts share an image of what looks like a press release written in French from the Interior Ministry. The Interior Ministry is comparable to the Home Office in the UK and is the department of the French government that deals with emergency and crisis situations.

The fake press release, which is dated 2 July, says internet access will be restricted at night in certain neighbourhoods from 3 July. It says these “exceptional measures” are in order to prevent online platforms and social media being used to coordinate illegal activities and incite violence.

Posts showing a screenshot of a fake Guardian article about looting during the riots in France have been shared widely on social media. 

The image shows what appears to be a Guardian opinion piece with the headline: “I fully support the looting in France by the disenfranchised black youth. Call it reparations”. 

The sub-heading goes on to say: “It’s not looting when intergenerational trauma forces thousands to seek reparations for being sold into slavery.”

It has been widely shared on Twitter and has also appeared on Facebook. 

But this is not a genuine article. A quick Google search shows that no articles with such a headline exist on the Guardian’s website.

The supposed author is lawyer, author and activist Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, who has confirmed on…

An image widely-shared on Facebook contrasts what it claims is a photo of a pro-refugee banner at a protest in France in 2016 with a picture of recent riots in the country. 

The images have also been shared many thousands of times on Twitter. 

The first picture, captioned “France in 2016” shows a group of young people apparently at a march, holding a large banner which reads: “They are not dangerous, they are in danger! #refugeeswelcome”. 

But this picture wasn’t taken in France at all. It is actually from a large demonstration that took place in Brussels, Belgium, in 2015. 

The second picture, captioned “France in 2023”, shows the silhouettes of what appear to be a number of emergency service workers in front of several burning vehicles.

A post on Twitter with over 3,000 shares claims to show a high rise building on fire, apparently in France. This follows riots in the country after a 17-year-old boy, Nahel M, was shot dead by a police officer in a Paris suburb.  

The same video has also been shared a number of times on Facebook, often alongside claims that social media and other forms of reporting are being censored by authorities.

Despite the French flags overlaid on the video, it actually depicts a fire at a residential building in Ajman in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that happened on 27 June. Other videos and images from that event match the video being shared online, which appears to have been filmed from the street below.

According to news media coverage, there were no immediate reports of…
