Influence and disinformation campaign targeting France's 2027 presidential election
In late October 2026, two researchers published a study on a vast destabilisation campaign that began three years earlier, aligned with European electoral calendars including France's, with indicators pointing to the Israeli private sector. On 5 November, an analysis indicated that the French presidential election campaign is targeted by content and algorithm manipulation on Facebook, X and TikTok, and highlighted platform responsibility. The same day, part of the political spectrum expressed concern over the proliferation of false content and platform opacity, which could bias the presidential election.
