The French government considered blocking social media during protests to prevent violent coordination. Discussions with telecom operators aimed to restrict access to platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu requested readiness from telecom companies to implement these measures. This plan was prompted by fears of escalating violence similar to previous protests. However, the anticipated violence did not occur during the protests on October 24, resulting in fewer incidents than expected.
