French regulator Arcom stated on Monday, November 21 that it had sent a letter to Twitter asking the social media platform to ensure on November 24 it could fulfill its legal obligations to ensure transparent information despite a drastic series of layoffs.
Arcom, France's regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communications, said that after Twitter was taken over by Elon Musk, Twitter had announced its decision to drastically reduce its workforce. The social media company has fired half of its employees and terminated the contract for several thousand contract workers.
"Arcom would like to express its deep concern about the immediate consequences of the decision on Twitter's ability to safeguard a safe environment for its users," said Arcom President Roch-Olivier Maistre, in a letter to Twitter, published by Arcom.
Reported by Reuters, Arcom also said that Twitter is one of the most widely used online platforms in France, raising systemic issues related to democratic debates and public safety.
"In this case, Twitter is specifically subject to its obligations, which it is Arcom's responsibility to ensure it is implemented properly," the regulator said.
He added that Twitter must fight information manipulation within the framework of the 2018 law that requires it to cooperate with Arcom.
Arcom said it had asked Twitter in writing to confirm that it could fulfill its legal obligations, particularly to ensure effective moderation of content and illegal or malicious practices while ensuring respect for user rights, including freedom of expression.
Twitter is expected to respond no later than November 24.
