Amid protests in France, President Emmanuel Macron blamed social media for “damaging our democracies” and said it was “not normal” for the country to be in such “turmoil”. He called social media a “tool for mobilising the worst impulses”. Around 410,000 people took part in protests across France over the weekend, with over 1,300 arrested following clashes with security forces.
