In Nice, Saturday October 31 in the afternoon, the signs are in the hands of the demonstrators while the phones are never far away. Since the start of the movement, social networks have occupied a central place in the protest and function as a real catalyst for mobilization.
These platforms make it possible to effectively relay calls for mobilization and organize actions on the ground. The same communications application is already on the phones of demonstrators in Paris.
Certain violent publications shared more rarely on these digital spaces worry the authorities. Faced with this situation, the government is seeking to better regulate the platforms.
On the side of the protesters, adaptation measures are already appearing. Some protesters are directly adopting communication tools that work without an Internet connection.
