France Isn't Arresting Muslims over Social Media Posts

Users on Twitter have repeatedly shared that, following a crackdown on Islamist extremism by French President Emmanuel Macron, French authorities have begun arresting hundreds of Muslims over their posts on social media.

Another user has stated that others were arrested for merely liking publications on the internet.



When one sharer was asked to substantiate the statement, they shared a screenshot of an article by Anadolu Agency, a Turkish state run news site, titled “French police arrest Muslim NGO head in raid.”
