Editorial: Le Monde

• Elon Musk and Pavel Durov, two titans of digital platforms, have conceded to regulators of democratic States.
• In Brazil, after several month of conflict, the Supreme Court resumed activities of social network X, ex-Twitter, imposing a fine on Musk and blocking accounts accused of disinformation.
• In France, Telegram, founded by Durov, agreed to cooperate with legal authorities after the arrest and judicial control of Durov.
• Telegram now complies with judicial orders and has implemented advanced selective filters on its internal search engine.
• These changes illustrate that the internet is not a lawless territory and can be regulated.
• This sequence confirms that despite claiming to defend freedom of speech, these digital giants are primarily businessmen attentive to their economic interests.
