The French government considered blocking social media during protests to prevent coordination among rioters. Discussions with telecom operators aimed at restricting access to platforms like TikTok and Instagram were initiated. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu requested readiness for such measures, fearing a repeat of violence from previous protests. However, the anticipated unrest did not occur, leading to fewer incidents. Technical challenges exist in selectively blocking access, and such actions could disrupt essential services. Alternative measures, like disabling geolocation features, were also considered. Additionally, a proposed law aims to hold individuals accountable for participating in riots and requires platforms to swiftly remove inciting content.
