# Disinformation and foreign interference targeting the 2027 French presidential election > In late October 2026, two researchers publish a study on a vast destabilization campaign begun three years earlier, aligned with European electoral calendars including the 2027 French presidential election, with indicators pointing to the Israeli private sector. In early November, analyses report content and algorithm manipulation on Facebook, X and TikTok targeting the presidential campaign, while part of the political spectrum worries about the proliferation of false content and platform opacity. An article then reports that an Israeli-run racist influence campaign affects several European countries, including France, Italy and Germany. On November 9, according to Reuters, European reports describe an information exploitation of the French riots by Russian, pro-MAGA and Israel-linked networks, without evidence showing they triggered the unrest. On November 10, a document describes an Iranian operation based on a fake ecological media outlet created from scratch, with AI-generated images, to spread content hostile to French authorities. **In brief**: Ongoing story bringing together 6 events nationwide, followed from 29 October 2026 to 10 November 2026. 8 articles from 7 sources (cyber, politics); last updated on 10 November 2026 at 21:08. - Status: ongoing - Category: Cyber, Politics - Place: Nationwide - First detected: 29 October 2026 at 06:13 - Updated: 10 November 2026 at 21:08 - Web page: https://acturadar.com/en/stories/354-disinformation-and-foreign-interference-targeting-the-2027-french-presidential ## Timeline (6 events) ### 29 October 2026 — [Influence campaign with racist ads targets 2027 presidential election](https://acturadar.com/en/events/3999-influence-campaign-with-racist-ads-targets-2027-presidential-election.md) Two researchers publish a study on a vast destabilization campaign begun three years ago, aligned with European electoral calendars including that of France, with clues pointing to the Israeli private sector. 3 sources, 3 articles · Nationwide ### 5 November 2026 — [Disinformation: the presidential campaign targets large-scale manipulations](https://acturadar.com/en/events/10557-disinformation-the-presidential-campaign-targets-large-scale-manipulations.md) The French presidential campaign is targeted by content and algorithm manipulations on Facebook, X, and TikTok, according to an analysis highlighting the responsibility of the platforms. 1 sources, 1 articles · Nationwide ### 5 November 2026 — [Présidentielle : la campagne électorale sous l'emprise des algorithmes et des faux contenus](https://acturadar.com/en/events/10704-presidentielle-la-campagne-electorale-sous-l-emprise-des-algorithmes-et-des.md) Une partie de l'échiquier politique s'inquiète de la prolifération de faux contenus et de l'opacité des plateformes, qui pourraient biaiser l'élection présidentielle. 1 sources, 1 articles · Nationwide ### 8 November 2026 — [Une campagne de propagande raciste pilotée par Israël touche plusieurs pays européens dont la France](https://acturadar.com/en/events/13207-une-campagne-de-propagande-raciste-pilotee-par-israel-touche-plusieurs-pays.md) Selon l'article, une vaste campagne d'influence à caractère raciste, pilotée par Israël, touche des dizaines de pays européens, dont la France, l'Italie et l'Allemagne. 1 sources, 1 articles · Nationwide ### 9 November 2026 — [Un rapport européen décrit l'exploitation informationnelle des émeutes françaises](https://acturadar.com/en/events/13940-un-rapport-europeen-decrit-l-exploitation-informationnelle-des-emeutes.md) Selon Reuters, des rapports européens décrivent une exploitation des violences en France par des réseaux russes, pro-MAGA et liés à Israël.
