in reply to Pixels / Le Monde • • •M #Macron donne de la légitimité à ces plateformes ( #facebook, #X , #instagram ) en s'exprimant à travers elles. Il ne faut pas venir s'en plaindre ensuite !! surtout quand on nous rabache de la souverainté numérique tous les 2 jours.

mais c'est pas demain la veille. 😭
