Ok, so French citizens/entities are bard from analyzing legal decisions. But, like, uh, how does this stop a non-French entity from doing the very same thing? ... and then making it available to the world!
You know, cause a non-French entity is outside of France's jurisdiction.
There’s a law in France regardiung the release of exit polls on the day of an election - basically, you are restricted from releasing these polls before the polls close so as not to impact people who vote later in the day. The law applies to French media in France, but it doesn’t apply to non-French media entities. Hence, if you are looking for exit polling date on the day of the election, you hit up a French-language source in Switzerland or Belgium that carries the polling instead of the local French news site.
I suspect this legal analysis could be a more lucrative and sustainable use case for a non-French-but-still-French-language startup to make their way.
