Original: France asked ISPs to prepare temporary DNS blocks for major social platforms
The French government has asked internet service providers to prepare temporary DNS blocks targeting major social media platforms, reportedly in connection with October 24. According to the report, the prime minister's office has readied measures allowing the networks to be cut off for a limited period. The news has drawn attention because it suggests the state is preparing an internet shutdown mechanism affecting widely used platforms.
