Edouard Geffray pointed out on Thursday the "mortiferous spirals" in which are "enclosed" the youngest, after being passed as a 14-year-old on the social network.
Minister Edouard Geffray called himself a 14-year-old and claimed to have discovered "depressive videos" in less than "20 minutes."
The algorithm of the social network "is made to lock up" in a "piral likely to incite a vulnerable public to commit the irreparable," explained Édouard Geffray.
