As if replacing the word "hashtag" with their own French word "mot-dièse" wasn't enough, France could soon begin charging Twitter fines of $1,300 per day if they don't comply with a new court ruling. The ruling by a civil court in Paris says that Twitter must release the names of users who tweeted anti-Semitic remarks and images using the hashtag mot-dièse #UnBonJuif. That translates to "a good Jew," and the Union of French Jewish Students wants to prosecute, but Twitter refuses to turn over the names.
