Dad Uses Signal Jammer to Stop His Kids from Going Online

The unintentional actions of a resident in Messanges, a town located in southwestern France, could result in a six-month imprisonment as he unknowingly interfered with telephony and mobile internet services in his vicinity using a signal jammers.

Remarkably, his motives were not malicious. He simply aimed to prevent his teenage children from using their mobile devices to access the internet after their bedtime.

A local mobile phone operator recently lodged a peculiar complaint with the French planning and radio frequency management agency (ANFR). The grievance pertained to the residents of Messanges, who experienced a complete halt in their cellular and mobile internet services during a specific time period each week, spanning from just before midnight until 3 AM.

In a recent development, the French planning and radio frequency management agency (ANFR) disclosed an unusual complaint filed by a local mobile phone operator. According to the complaint, the residents of Messanges experienced a disruption in their cellular and mobile internet services from just before midnight until 3 AM throughout the entire week.

The ANFR's investigation has revealed that radio frequencies in the area were being blocked by a mobile phone jammer, a device that is illegal in several European countries, including France.

During the early hours of the morning, around 1:30 am, a technician successfully traced the signal's origin to a dwelling located in the coastal town. The subsequent day, accompanied by law enforcement, investigators approached the man's residence and politely requested entry. Without hesitation, the individual readily confessed to employing a multi-band jammer.

As per the ANFR, the father of the family had installed a jamming wifi to prevent his teenagers from using their smartphones to connect to the internet instead of going to sleep. The motivation behind this decision was the children's addiction to social networks and other applications. After seeking guidance from internet forums, the father determined that a jammer would be the most effective solution to tackle his kids' excessive screen time.

Version 3: Alongside the request to deactivate the jammer and abstain from its utilization, the ANFR agent underscored the owner's responsibility to adhere to the regulatory framework, as per the agency's statement.
