President Emmanuel Macron's government faced a backlash Wednesday after the centrist leader called for powers to "cut off" social media in case of widespread violence like riots over the past week.
Same could be said for USA.
Because the person above mentioned China, Iran, North Korea blocking media for political reasons. I mentioned that EU countries are doing the same.
We should not have double standards.
If france wants to ban american propaganda, I am sure no american will shed a tear lol
Everyone agree that’s the state has authority over foreign bad actor speach. We are discussing here state censoring their own citizen’s peach which is highly problematic esp in so called “democracies”

I strongly disagree. If they didn’t care they wouldn’t be buying media companies abroad.

Not everyone agrees. Allowing a government to decide who is a bad actor and ban the media is bad, that’s how countries fall into dictatorships and create narrative for their citizens.
Just look at nazi Germany.
Please explain how preventing your citizens from using any social media & blocking an openly imperialistic county & known bad actor from propagandizing your citizens are similar.
No shit, check the list of countries who cut informations from their people and you’ll easily understand why it causes a backlash.
China, Iran, North Korea to name a few.
Every day, we stray further away from democracy with Macron. Le Pen is gonna win next time and it will be mainly because of him.
Well most of the EU countries including France blocked all media channels from Russia
Media channels from Russia are basically just spouting putin propaganda so why would they want to be subjected to that?
Many countries are spewing propaganda bullshit, including and in majority coming from USA. I don’t think media channels from USA should be blocked.
Switzerland is doing the right thing, they never blocked any news channel or limiting freedom of speech in that way.
Wtf does this have to do with some degenerate country’s right to shill their low intellect propaganda?

You are clearly missing the point and don’t understand how the laws work.
As always working nAzI GerManY into dicussion lol
All countries permit the state to censor foreign speach… Most citizens accept this, censoring citizen speach is the issue.
Uh huh.
