As protests continue in France, a new scandal is gaining momentum in the local segment of social media. The man filmed throwing an object into the crowd turned out to be a plainclothes policeman, the prosecutor in the city of Reims said. Against this background, users noticed that a number of videos with the initiators and finishers of the transition of peaceful protests to escalation in several French cities were removed from social networks, and this is the reason why a "conspiracy theory" is now actively forming, the main of which is the active participation of the authorities in orchestrating the unrest in France.
