Based on newly released “Twitter Files – France,” a coordinated effort by the French government to pressure Twitter into censorship is revealed. The investigation details how President Emmanuel Macron personally contacted then-CEO Jack Dorsey, working in concert with legislators and state-affiliated NGOs. Their goal was to force the platform to censor users for legal speech and hand over sensitive user data, aiming for narrative control.

This pressure campaign illustrates the birth of a “censorship-by-proxy” strategy using NGOs, forming the heart of a “Censorship Industrial Complex.” The timing of Macron’s actions suggests coordination with these groups, and the pattern of events indicates potentially illegal activity. These revelations emerge as the U.S. and EU negotiate trade deals, with analysts concerned such EU-led censorship could be imposed globally on American users.

Shame on you Emmanuel…
