France Declares State of Emergency and Bans TikTok in New Caledonia Amid Deadly Riots
Following deadly riots in New Caledonia over electoral reform, France has declared a state of emergency and banned TikTok in the territory. The ban aims to address concerns of circulating hate messages and calls for violence on the platform.
The violence has led to casualties, including young indigenous Kanak and a police official, prompting the deployment of additional police forces to the island. The unrest stems from a new electoral bill that local leaders fear will impact the Kanak vote, escalating tensions and causing clashes in the region.
