France has called on social media platforms to heighten their vigilance against online disinformation in the lead-up to the European Parliament elections in June. Minister for Europe Jean-Noel Barrot expressed concerns about potential voter abstention and foreign interference, particularly from Russia, and urged the European Commission to assist in holding platforms accountable. The government has launched a media campaign to encourage voter turnout, while a new agency, VIGINUM, has been established to detect disinformation.
