“This account cannot be found”, “Account suspended”. Internet users who visited Emmanuel Macron’s TikTok account could see this on Friday evening, January 27th. In fact, the President of the Republic has been banned from the social network for more than three hours.
“The President has been suspended”
These disappearances reacted strongly to netizens who did not hesitate to publish videos on the subject, as reported by our Parisian colleagues. “Why are we talking about the President being banned?”, “What did you Manu do to get TikTok banned?” Was read in short videos.
Contacted by our colleagues, the platform that confirmed the inaccessibility of the account could not explain why the President of the Republic was blocked. The head of state’s account, which has no fewer than 3.9 million subscribers, was only restored around 10:45 p.m. It’s not uncommon for TikTok to suspend accounts, with the platform enforcing “a zero-tolerance policy.”
