The French authorities want to have the right to block social networks for calls for unrest, the newspaper "Le Figaro" writes, citing an amendment to the anti-pogromist bill submitted to parliament. According to the initiative, Internet platforms will be required to remove within an hour materials containing calls for terrorist attacks, rebellion or armed struggle against the state or certain groups in the population. If the requirement is not met, the authorities can request the blocking of social networks or their removal from the search results. The amendment also provides for the expansion of the powers of the Paros state platform, which deals with identifying illegal content on the Internet. The social networks are asked to give 24 hours to remove posts calling for murder, violence, theft and destruction of property if such materials could lead to a serious disturbance of public order. Thus, the authorities compare the unrest that began on October 17 with terrorism or a civil war, Klavik writes. The protests in France began with student demonstrations against the lack of funding for schools and the shortage of teachers. Later they were joined by those who are not satisfied with the price increase. The demonstrations turned into riots and clashes with the police, who used water cannons and tear gas. Earlier, Emmanuel Macron blamed social networks for the destructive unrest in France. He also warned that next Saturday (November 7) would be a "high-risk day" in the context of unrest.
