French President Emmanuel Macron is considering blocking online media to combat further unrest in France.

– It is necessary to think about how the young people protesting use social networks and about the possible bans – Macron said yesterday at the meeting with the mayors in Paris.

According to him, if things get out of hand, social networks may need to be regulated or shut down.

On Friday, the president blamed social media for escalating violence during protests against police brutality.
