ALBAWABA France has announced a measure banning all recreational apps from the work phones of the country’s 2.5 million civil servants.
The French Ministry of Public Sector Reform and the Civil Service announced the new restrictions on Twitter, which is somewhat ironic because it is also included in the prohibition, along with Instagram and Netflix and candy crash streaming services.
