Are social media platforms censoring France's protest movement?

Content creators in France are expressing concerns over censorship on social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Instagram. Anibesa, an Instagram user, reported a significant drop in views and the removal of videos discussing current events. The collective Cerveaux Non Disponibles faced a ban on TikTok amid protests, claiming their content was not more violent than mainstream news. Additionally, independent media outlets like StreetPress have experienced hidden videos flagged as sensitive, despite previously passing moderation. These incidents highlight a growing issue of content suppression related to social and political topics.
