France used lawsuits, NGOs, and private outreach to pressure Twitter into global censorship beyond French law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As European leaders push to shape global speech rules under the guise of trade policy, new internal records reveal that the French government quietly built a system to enforce censorship worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaked internal communications from Twitter, now known as X, expose a sophisticated campaign led by President Emmanuel Macron and aided by state-aligned organizations to pressure the platform into suppressing speech far beyond what French law requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While publicly promoting values like free expression, France\u2019s leadership was privately demanding crackdowns on political content, anonymous users, and anything that veered from government-approved narratives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest TWITTER FILES \u2013 FRANCE, published by Public<\/a>, which is worth reading, documents how Paris pioneered the modern censorship-by-proxy model; using lawsuits, coordinated NGO pressure, and personal outreach at the highest levels to mold a global moderation regime in France\u2019s image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the more revealing moments in the documents comes from October 2020, when Twitter\u2019s Public Policy Director in France noted unusual persistence from the \u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Macron\u2019s team has been asking me (again!) Jack [Dorsey]\u2019s number because the President wants to text him some supporting words re our new policies and functionalities on Election integrity,\u201d the message read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only issue? Dorsey didn\u2019t hand out his number, even to heads of state. Staff reminded Macron\u2019s team that a direct message would be more appropriate, though they acknowledged the President didn\u2019t use Twitter personally. Alternatives like Signal, Telegram, and even iMessage were considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMacron only sends texts to people he is close to and works frequently with colleagues and senior govt. leaders (like Angela Merkel),\u201d wrote one Twitter executive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effort to establish private lines of communication coincided with a legal campaign already brewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, Macron\u2019s office was chasing Dorsey\u2019s contact information, Twitter was hit with a lawsuit by four French NGOs, SOS Racisme, SOS Homophobie, UEJF, and J\u2019accuse, alleging the company failed to adequately police hate speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But internally, Twitter staff saw the case differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis case is largely about painting Twitter as a dangerous actor in the press,\u201d wrote Associate Director of Litigation Karen Colangelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NGOs behind the lawsuit claimed independence, yet all were tied to government or EU funding. SOS Racisme, for instance, is a partner in an EU program. UEJF is backed by the European Union of Jewish Students, while SOS Homophobie receives funding from the French government and is part of an EU LGBTQ initiative. None responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
