Angle comparison
The two sides report the same government plan to block content calling for violence, but Le Monde presents it from the angle of "censorship" and the absence of judicial oversight, while Le Figaro emphasizes the obligations imposed on platforms and the removal deadlines.
Left
Le Monde headlines the desire to "censor calls for violence on social networks" and underscores the administrative nature of the procedure, noting that it allows a site to be blocked "without a court decision" and that it has already been extended several times since 2014.
Centre
No coverage from this side.
Right
Le Figaro highlights the targeted content ("calls for looting") and the mechanism of the system: a 24-hour removal obligation for platforms, with a "blocking" or "delisting" as a sanction for non-compliance.
Common points
- =The government wishes to be able to block sites and platforms broadcasting calls for violence.
- =Administrative blocking of sites has existed since 2014 and has already been extended several times.
