Selfies Banned on Beach in France!

SELFIE!!!! A beach in France called Garoupe Beach banned taking selfies on certain parts of the beach. They even put up signs in certain "No Braggies Zones." The beach spokesperson said they do not like the bragging about things like designer clothes, and sharing beach photos. They believe people only do it to create jealousy form others. Researched showed that 1/3 of the British travelers say bragging about vacation was one of their favorite holiday activities. They even worked with a mobile network to create a anit-holiday spam area- which is being patrolled by Holiday Spam Police. They say they want you to enjoy the moment now, not send it to your friends and family back home. How would you feel if this were at a beach you visited and you couldn't take pictures there? And are you WITH or AGAINST this ban?

  • Again, well done. Interesting story!

  • I would be kind of disappointed if I was not able to take a picture at the beach. People often by new outfits, or bring cute outfits for vacations, and taking pictures. Yes, not everyone has the money to buy all the clothes they want, but the people that do are not necessarily bragging about their outfit. I am against this ban because their is no reason you should not be able to take a selfie at the beach, you are enjoying the trip and want to share it with friends. 

    • Yess! Exactly! You read my mind! I don't think its bragging either.. because they buy the clothes just for vacation ya know? I am also against this ban.

  • I would upset if I was there and couldn't take pictures. that's the whole point of being on vacation is to take pictures. Im against this ban.

    • Exactly how I feel skylar, like thats the best part of a vacation!

  • I would feel pretty upset because you want to remember what you did when you went to the beach. I am against this ban because you should be able to show what you are doing whenever and where ever you want to.

    • I agree Frank. I mean who doesn't want to share what they are doing? It should be there choice what they can and can't do.

  • If it was in America I would be against it, because we have rights to do what we want. Being on the beach is something fun and exciting and you should be able to capture the moments. 

    • Yes that is true Swish. Even just taking the picture should be okay.. doesn't mean they have to post it but it should be up to them if they post it or not..
