I wouldn’t like to fall into your clutches

French Greens leader calls for ban on X during elections

Marine Tondelier, national secretary of the French Greens and 2027 presidential candidate, has called for the possibility of banning the social network X during election periods if foreign interference is detected.

In an interview with Libération, Tondelier described X as a “source of fake news” with a “rigged algorithm” that exerts a more structural and daily impact on disinformation than discrete foreign influence operations.

She argued that the platform, owned by Elon Musk, should be treated as a content editor rather than a neutral intermediary.


I wouldn’t like to fall into your clutches, my friend, altogether: or to give your benevolence a chance to condemn me.
