Funny you should mention this! I'm taking a tour group into Syria next year so keeping a close eye on this legislation.

I can’t care about everything that affects everybody. I haven’t got the time or energy.
I don’t think it’s government overreach at all. It’s sensible to ban people from travelling to certain areas. It’s protection of government resources as well, as it’s the government that’s expected to assist these people when they travel to silly places and get in trouble.
Who decides what is a legitimate reason?
Will the criteria be publicly known and applied evenly and without prejudice?
Will those legitimate reasons change over time?
Can't travel to London or Manchester then either eh?That terrorists operate in Paris, ergo it is a hotspot, should we ban travel to it?

I don't think your hyperbolic threat title is representative of reality, but then you already know that, don't you?

No I firmly believe this is another step towards curtailing our liberties. I am not saying it is a deliberate intention to curtail them. But we are increasingly sleep walking into it.I don't think your hyperbolic threat title is representative of reality, but then you already know that, don't you?
There are alternatives to those private companies and the worst impact is simply not being able to use them. But citizens can't simply choose to use a different government and the impact of breaking the new laws is imprisonment. So that's not a very good comparison.So in summary all of the people who will argue that Facebook, PayPal, Twitter, Youtube etc can ban your presence from the internet outside of the law and it's perfectly okay but when the government try to restrict your travel to what is effectively a huge bombed out ruin with pockets of terrorists still active(?) it's a huge threat to Freedom. It's good to see people have their priorities straight.

Funny. I thought the French rather liked beheading people.
What is it you actually do? Are these tour groups your average citizens, or is this some special convoy of ambassadors/advisors etc.
