Here are the main revelations from the report published in early September ⤵︎
➥ 1. Pioneering French censorship system unmasked
Twitter Files France reveals that under Emmanuel Macron, France developed a veritable "censorship industrial complex" long before the USA. This coordinated arrangement between the French state, NGOs and the courts served as a model for other countries, making France the global cradle of organized digital censorship.
➥ 2. Emmanuel Macron personally involved in pressuring Twitter
Internal documents reveal that the French president directly sought to contact Jack Dorsey, then CEO of Twitter, to encourage him in his "moderation" policies. In October 2020, Macron insisted on obtaining Dorsey's personal number in order to send him "words of support" regarding new features on electoral integrity
➥ 3. 90% of alerts targeted perfectly legal content
Analysis of the documents shows that almost 9 out of 10 reports made by French players (parliamentarians, NGOs such as Sleeping Giants) targeted entirely legal publications. This proportion reveals the scale of the problem and the arbitrary nature of the censorship system in place. 62% of worldwide censorship requests to Twitter came from France.
➥ 4. Massive coordination between French state, NGOs and courts
The report exposes an orchestrated pressure network where French parliamentarians, funded NGOs and the courts bombarded Twitter with coordinated censorship requests. Targeted topics included immigration, COVID-19 and elections, with judicial orders issued without a solid legal basis to force Twitter compliance under threat of fines.
➥ 5. A model exported and now legalized by the EU
These censorship practices, initially developed on the bangs of the legal framework, have been institutionalized and legalized by the European Digital Services Act (DSA). The French system has become a model for export to the United States via the Department of Homeland Security, transforming national censorship methods into geopolitical influence.
