always banished them from social ladder. This feeling of rejection of the authority of the state they consider racist, is seen by the security services of the French state as a launching pad for civil disobedience, which must absolutely be stopped. Also, Facebook France has launched in collaboration with the French government a campaign of repression of free thought, especially when it is tainted with the pseudo communitarianism which is recriminated by the well-thinking France ( as of June 25th 2019 there is an agreement between Facebook and the French government to forward all IP address of people using hate speech in the social network. The IP address allows to know from which computers and from which place you browse the internet).
Beyond the "hunt for negroes" in social networks, the security services of France have trouble to tame, a significant fringe of the French population, who has since joined the black community in the rebellion against the system of oppression of capitalist democracies by the horde of yellow jacket that have since put the French government under siege.
Hundreds of people are labelled “Fiche S” (file S) every day in France, not always because they would be suspected of terrorism, as they often want peoples to believe, but simply for their ideology, which generally goes from the simple criticism on social networks to political activism. People who are put in “File S” are obviously not warned that they are monitored, but in general they realize that something is wrong in their lives, when they start having difficulties with the administration, including for ordinary things, such as the renewal of a driver's license or passport, and worse the difficulties in employment are often current, since those who are tracked by the police are often in a blacklist. the French administration in a pernicious way, would thus have found the means to harm citizens whom it considers rebels, even when they would be in their right to protest, or to speak about issues of social justice as a journalist, as a citizen using social networks.
All over the world, police states cite the theory of the philosopher Karl Popper - the "paradox of tolerance" as a justification for the prohibition of
hate speech arbitrarily, despite democratic laws, which precisely protect free expression. In his 1945 book entitled "The open society and its enemies", Popper believes that tolerance is destroyed when it allows intolerant speech. However, the question that should be asked is who has tolerance, the autocratic governments that are now everywhere in the southern hemisphere as well as in the north with the capitalist democracies where people seem to tolerate Liberticidal policies, stamped by the seal of protection of freedom so dear to the West. Freedom under control is the allegory of a life in a tight box that restricts movement and expression through censorship. Freedom under control is nothing, but an open prison. but how many are really aware of the chains of technological control chains over the world populace? In any case, the technological oligarchy and the governments, have since found a common ground of mutual understanding to the detriment of the people.
