> For instance, in France, woman were not allowed to wear trousers until maybe 5 or 10 years ago.

That law was a dead letter from 1800. It’s the equivalent of the old English law memes, like that you can shoot an arrow at a Welshman within the precinct of Hereford.

It's been 44 years in France. It was older than current facebook's age when facebook appeared. France abolished the guillotine more recently than this privacy law pased in France. When I was born, it was already no longer discussed.

It's not 200 years old, but it definitely is OLD.
