      Through posts combining provocation, humour and irony, the “French Response” account has taken potshots at trolls, but also top-level politicians. It is part of a wider strategy led by Paris to combat disinformation, ministry told Euronews.
      France’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has ramped up its fight against disinformation with “French Response”, an official X account which replies to trolls and fake news with humour, irony and provocation.

      The account has amassed more than 180,000 followers since its creation in September, taking aim at disinformation peddled by pro-Russian users and US accounts. Meanwhile, White House-aligned accounts have increasingly targeted France on X in recent months.

      According to ministry spokesman Pascal Confavreux, France has decided to shake up its strategy to actively combat disinformation.

      “The intuition was that you can’t win the information war if you don’t fight the battle. So we had to raise our voice,” Confavreux told Euronews.

      I always remember a phrase said by Michelle Obama: “when they go low, we go high”.

      I love Michelle Obama but you cannot go high with these people who are just the lowest of the low. You need to use their own dirty tactics against them.

      It’s laughable because the gouvernement and the wider regime (so including the media for exemple) is a large source of disinformation. Just in the last week the minister of foreign affair made a statement propagating a fake news about a UN special rapporteur. It take about 2 min to find the video online to see that she didn’t say what they are blaming her for. The French gouvernement is just annoyed because this is disinformation they do not control.

      I’ve listened to an interview a few years back from the guys in the secret services whose job it is to respond to disinformation.

      They established that the best answer to disinformation is to make people laugh at it. It’s the easiest way to match the virality of fake news without reinforcing them by repeating the false claims.

      The problem was you’d have to teach the military and security dudes to actually be funny and get the zeitgeist. I’m not joking. That was the final conclusion.
