On the criminal side, It’s identity fraud, and also an offence under the Misuse of Computers Act, gaining access to a system unauthorisedly. Civilly, it’s almost certainly a violation of the ToS.

Because French senators are paid per month, while Lords are not salaried, instead claiming per day they sit in the house. The idea is to have accomplished people in their field come and sit in the Lords on days when their expertise would be useful, rather than to have a professionalised body where members are expected to sit every day of the parliamentary session.

So an eminent technologist may be made a Lord, and would be useful when such matters are discussed, but perhaps not so useful when debating agricultural land use.

This is one of the reasons why there are so many members. They aren’t all expected to gather at the same time in the same place.

Then again, non-governmental members of the Lords can only claim up to £371 per day for attendance, and then only for normal business, or they can choose to claim half or none of it. In addition travel expenses can be claimed in special circumstances.

Meanwhile, each Fr*nch senator costs the taxpayer approximately (per month) €5,423 base + €6,109 expenses + €8,696 staff allowance = €20,228 per senator per month.

The big deal is that he broke the law. In some countries that’s the end of a political career.

Usually Cloudflare fights (successfully) against the orders, laying the responsibility with ISPs. This marks a change in corporate policy.
