The Minister of Digital, Jean-Noël Barrot, denounced this Wednesday, May 10, on France 2, the virulent attacks of Booba against influencers.

INFLUENCERS – “You should never take the law into your own hands.” Guest of the political program Telematin on France 2, the Minister of Digital, Jean-Noël Barrot denounced this Wednesday, May 10 the virulent attacks of Booba against influencers. The rapper regularly openly targets Magali Berdah, boss of the influencer agency Shauna Events, with messages posted on her Twitter account to more than 6 million subscribers.

“The problem comes from only 1% of influencers, in 99% of cases there is no problem (…) We must protect the influencers who are on the right path, punish those who deviate from it (…) He never does justice to himself, that’s why we set up frameworks “detailed the Minister in the sequence below.

The minister’s remarks refer in particular to Booba’s repeated attacks targeting Magali Berdah. He accuses the influencer agent of questionable practices, and sometimes goes so far as to disseminate personal information about her.

“Secure” the Internet

Magali Berdah filed a complaint on April 18 against Twitter and against X for “complicity in aggravated moral harassment”. “We are more than 120,000 (messages) for a year, and several hundred or even thousands, from Booba who feeds his account every day with fake news, with montages, with a fake sextape…”she lamented on Franceinfo in mid-April.

The words of Jean-Noël Barrot are against the current of those recently made by Bruno Le Maire. For the Minister of Economy, ” the Internet ” must not become « Far West », he explained on Franceinfo in mid-March. He gave reason to the rapper Booba, precisely at the forefront in the denunciation of the excesses of certain influencers on social networks.

The Minister of Digital also called for “frame” this new practice which brings many “benefits” to the French. In this regard, this Wednesday, May 10, the Senate unanimously adopted at first reading a bill aimed at better regulating the activity of influencers and combating abuses on social networks. At the same time, another text, this time on internet security, is being presented to the Council of Ministers on 10 May.
