Macron blames network impunity

French President Emmanuel Macron accused online freedom of speech of 'complete nonsense' due to the lack of transparent algorithms. He stated that he is not calling for regulation of these algorithms but supports providing users with information on how these algorithms are created, trained, and where their actions might lead.

Macron emphasized the importance of citizens understanding the mechanisms behind social networks, not just the consequences of their use. He expressed concerns that lack of transparency could enable manipulation and violate users' rights.
