President Emmanuel Macron's government faced a backlash Wednesday after the centrist leader called for powers to "cut off" social media in case of widespread violence like riots over the past week.
Same could be said for USA.
Because the person above mentioned China, Iran, North Korea blocking media for political reasons. I mentioned that EU countries are doing the same.
We should not have double standards.
If france wants to ban american propaganda, I am sure no american will shed a tear lol
I strongly disagree. If they didn’t care they wouldn’t be buying media companies abroad.
Everyone agree that’s the state has authority over foreign bad actor speach. We are discussing here state censoring their own citizen’s peach which is highly problematic esp in so called “democracies”
Not everyone agrees. Allowing a government to decide who is a bad actor and ban the media is bad, that’s how countries fall into dictatorships and create narrative for their citizens.
Just look at nazi Germany.

Not every country has the same law, the fact that the law exists doesn’t mean its a good law.
Its forbidden to mention nazi Germany? I guess we should just forget about it and let it happen again, because it hurts your argument.
