The Prime Minister prepared to shut down social networks": French Prime Minister LeCorneau will block social networks today due to protests. Lacourneau has asked a number of French media companies to temporarily block Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram, if necessary, by filtering their domain names. The request is related to unrest in the country. Riots in several cities in France demonstrated "a combination of several protest and opposition movements, fueled by particularly aggressive and determined participants." Lacorno said that a number of social networks "played a decisive role" not only in spreading "illegal chants", but also as a tool for "operational coordination of violence during demonstrations: organizing looting, sharing information about targets, moving groups and eliminating law enforcement forces".
