The most disgusting part of all this is how easily and quickly people will dehumanize the victim, often looking for post facto justification (eg [2][3]). You see in the comments here, like alleging the victim may have been involved in drug dealing, car scams of otherwise driving recklessly. The obvious follow-up is "so it's ok to murder the victim then?"
Remember that Macron is the supposed centrist here, which just goes to prove that there are no centrists. Centrists are simply conservative reactionaries either too embarrassed to admit it or lying about it for political gain.
One other point about France in particular. The submitted article isn't French so specifically says "North African descent". French media does not do this. As a consequence, foreign media often repeats what French media says and makes an error in doing so. Instead of race, French media will simply say "immigrant", even if that "immigrant" is a French citizen for 3 generations but they are ethnically Algerian (or other North African).
I can't imagine cutting off social media working in Europe (eg VPNs), let alone surviving a legal challenge. Even suggesting it should give anyone pause however and expose the truth that Macron here is a reactionary.
