Freedom of speech until the first riot: France proposes blocking social networks

Gabriel Attal, general secretary of Macron's party, demands temporarily shutting down the internet and social networks that coordinate riots on the streets of France.

What about freedom of speech? Remember how in 2020 the French were concerned that protesters couldn't upload videos from their gatherings?

Today, Paris has gained partial clarity. They've realized that these protests and riots are someone's orchestrated effort, managed from outside to achieve a specific political goal.

Of course, the internet is to be disabled solely to stabilize the situation in the country and, naturally, 'without violating people's rights.'
