Fabrice Epelboin: "Twitter files: la France est l'un des pays qui censure le plus au monde les réseaux sociaux" - QG - Le média libre

« La liberté d’expression, vaste plaisanterie », chantait le groupe IAM dans Dangereux. On connaît la dégradation continuelle de la France dans le classement de la liberté de la presse de "Reporters sans frontières ", où notre pays a encore perdu quelques places en mai 2025.

Twitter Files : la France accusée d’avoir bâti un « complexe industriel de la censure » en Europe

Selon les documents des #TwitterFiles – France, dévoilés par Elon Musk, Emmanuel #Macron aurait cherché à établir un contact direct avec Jack #Dorsey, fondateur de Twitter, afin d’infléchir les politiques de modération de la plateforme. Dans le même temps, des ONG françaises – #SOSRacisme, #LICRA, #UEJF, #SOSHomophobie – soutenues par des fonds publics, réclamaient un accès privilégié aux données internes et appelaient à des mécanismes de pré-censure, pourtant contraires à l’esprit de la Constitution.

My main take away from the #TwitterFiles was never work for Elon Musk or a company who would sell out to similar. The way he went after current and previous employees makes working for or near him untenable. Tough to write defensive code for a #MuskLevelEvent. Be careful what you track/retain.

Like the #TwitterFiles, but for US government. Musk’s claims about Social Security fraud were false, like Trump’s. Neither is likely to retract or apologize, nor will the U.S. DOGE Agency acknowledge the egregious error, but Americans must know we cannot trust either to tell the truth.

Inside DOGE’s Chaotic Takeover of Social Security

The drama offers a case study in how Elon Musk’s team sought to run a critical government agency through misinformation and social media blasts — and how longtime employees responded.

Everything Is the ‘#TwitterFiles’ Now

The #State Dept is using #ElonMusk’s playbook.

by Charlie Warzel

“Let’s be clear about what’s really happening here. A high-ranking member of the #Trump administration is turning federal-government #data—in this case, State Department communications—into a political weapon against perceived ideological enemies.”

For several people who received or saw the document, the broad requests for unredacted information felt like a “witch hunt,”…one that could put the #privacy & #security of numerous individuals & organizations at risk.

Beattie, whom #Trump appointed in Feb to be the acting undersecretary for #public #diplomacy, told #State Dept ofcls that his goal…was a “#TwitterFiles” like release of internal State Dept documents “to rebuild trust with the American public”….
