The French government is considering blocking social networks that do not remove posts calling for rebellion and violence, following a request from the authorities.
According to the initiative, Internet platforms will be required to remove within one hour materials that call for acts of terrorism, rebellion or armed struggle against the State or certain groups of the population.
On Monday, October 26, the government tabled an amendment in the Senate that would force the platforms to withdraw calls for insurgency in an hour, under penalty of blocking. It arrived two days after October 24, when Matignon had prepared a cut of TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and X.
