Well yes, but what is the reason they're giving?
It's only Macron raising the idea. For now. Quoting translations of Macron's speech, it's "because they [social media] change the way young people relate to reality"; and "because when it [social media] becomes an instrument for assemblies or for trying to kill, it is a real issue".
There's the answer I was looking for, thank you.
What flimsy justification. They couldn't have dreamed up a better reason?
Yes, it's extremely flimsy. But to be fair with Macron, he was just toying with the idea; that's why I compared him with another clown (Spez), due to his inability to think on the impact of his words before saying them. This might potentially never happen, as long as that government's taxpayers keep protesting against their rogue state wannabe.
