Has Macron reached out to Facebook for help? The French President has been having a public image nightmare this year.
Has Macron reached out to Facebook for help? The French President has been having a public image nightmare this year.
With disaster after disaster watching the bottom drop out of his ‘popularity’. It’s been shared around twitter and facebook and all things social media, the photo of the French President posing with two half undressed men on his recent visit to Saint Martin.
The photo made the rounds and onto a thousand memes, one of the two men flipping his middle-finger was the cousin of the other man, who turned out to be a cocaine dealer.
Now, however, Facebook is censoring the much ridiculed photo saying it violates their rules against ‘nudity and sexual acts’.
One French Twitter user posted a screenshot of the Facebook warning joking “what happened after the photo, Mr. Macron?”.

It seems in France, the photo from his end of September visit to the hurricane struck island, can’t be shared on Facebook.
It isn’t the first time a photo has been stopped by Facebook’s algorithms but the interesting thing of this is it specifically is happening to French Facebook users and at a time when the beleaguered President is facing an awful lot of criticism with the Yellow Vest protesters in full swing, calling for his resignation.
