The French government secretly considered blocking social media and mobile internet during recent protests to prevent violence coordination. This plan involved discussions with telecom operators to restrict access to platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The aim was to disrupt communication among protestors following violent incidents in previous demonstrations. Alternative measures, such as disabling geolocation features, were also contemplated. Additionally, a proposed law seeks to hold individuals financially accountable for participating in riots and mandates social media platforms to remove inciting content promptly. Similar proposals have emerged in the past, reflecting ongoing debates about managing public order during unrest.
