France Bans TikTok Amid New Caledonia Riots | Vantage with Palki Sharma
France has imposed a state of emergency in its overseas territory of New Caledonia in the south Pacific. The decision was announced after riots broke out on the island over a new voting law that enfranchised long-time French residents of the island. New Caledonia's indigenous population protested the law, fearing that their votes would get diluted by the move. The ensuing violence has killed at least five people and injured hundreds. Paris has also decided to ban TikTok on the island, with officials saying the app is being used by rioters to amplify the violence. Though the European Union is often quick to criticise other countries for shutting down internet and social media, Brussels is surprisingly silent on France's move. What explains this double standard? Palki Sharma tells you.
