Does the control of the health pass in bars, restaurants and other public places where it is required to fight Covid-19 itself give rise to a (discreet) verification?
This is what an Internet user asserts in a TikTok video that has gone viral, in which she unrolls, with supporting images, the details of a supposed job offer: “This is the type of ad you find on Leboncoin.fr at present. […] Now, we are recruiting people to come and spy on businesses subject to the health pass, to see if it is properly implemented! What is that ? ! […] Denouncing has become a national sport! “
The ad was also on Leboncoin, it was deleted. Who does this company work for? The city of Nice? 🧐 pic.twitter.com/Jb2zjQT58A
