I copy in raw here because I do not know how long it will last:
Minister of Culture and Communication,
At the end of August, I was still on vacation in the Tarn, when my charge com 'alerted me: "I do not understand, your Facebook page does not turn anymore. There is almost more visit. I did not care: I had to take my daughter to the pony.
A week later, thanks to an article by Médiapart, the mystery has cleared up: heaps of Facebook pages, all engaged, Lille insurgée, black Brittany, Collectif Auto Média edgy, Groupe Lyon Antifa, Nantes revolt, all suffered the same censorship, all the same weekend as me.
For example, the "Brains Not Available" page has dropped from 300 000 daily views to less than 1000 ...
Coincidence?
At the same time, the summit of G7 was held in Biarritz, with Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel and Donald Trump.
A G7 in a looped city.
With locked communication.
And so, counter-information blocked.
These militant pages protested to Facebook. But it's an algorithm that answered them: "Your opinion will be used to improve Facebook. Thank you for taking the time to send us your report. "
In turn, Médiapart asked Facebook, who delivered an algorithmic novalogue: "The pages in question have not been censored. If their visibility has been reduced, it is because they have published one or more content that contravenes the Community Standards. "
But of course!
In October, this time, tells Le Parisien, it is the railroads, Sud-Rail and the CGT, who saw their pages censored. And with the same answer: they would have violated the "Community Standards". But what are these "standards"? Do they ban politics? Polemic ?
As Minister of Communication, you are the guardian of freedom expression in our democracy.
The attacks here are obvious.
Have you questioned Facebook's management?
What answers did you get?
Or, on the contrary, do these censors help you?
In the spring of this year, President Macron met with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for - I quote - "fighting hate content".
Are the criticism of the government, the support for the social movements, in this "hate content"?
