LONG-FORM ARTICLE, Jean-David Ponci | It is generally believed that, under Obama, the United States began to step back from its role as the world’s policeman. This trend has accelerated under Trump, whose «America First» slogan signals the U.S.’s withdrawal into itself. However, curiously enough, it is at the end of Trump’s term that a new global power—still in American hands—is demonstrating its strength. The GAFAM—an acronym for the major tech companies Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft—censor certain content for political reasons, revealing to a scandalized world that they are not merely service providers. This historic situation calls for reflection on the conditions necessary to guarantee freedom of expression on the Internet. Analysis.
HUMOR BRIEFING, Antoine Bernhard | As early as 2016, the entire press - or almost all of it - made Trump its new scapegoat. It was declared over and over that he had «stolen» the American election, that he was illegitimate and that the United States was entering the darkest period of its history because of him. Four years on, the situation has hardly changed: anti-Trumpism is the only politically correct opinion. Any questioning of the majority discourse is scorned, immediately associated with the far right or conspiracy. It's time to give up this easy way of thinking.
