The French government has asked internet service providers to prepare temporary DNS blocks targeting major social media platforms, reportedly planned for October 24. The measure, prepared at the prime minister's level, would restrict access if activated. The reported plan is drawing concern over freedom of communication and the precedent of disconnecting social networks in a democracy.

Why now: The prospect of a Western government temporarily cutting off major social platforms raises concerns about censorship and emergency powers.
