Vendetta or mere coincidence? A few days after the broadcast of her meeting with Elon Musk on Monday June 19, 2023 on France 2, the Twitter account of Anne-Sophie Lapix (@aslapix) was suspended…
As a reminder, during her interview with the billionaire, the journalist returned to the increase in “hate speech” on Twitter. “You bought Twitter last year and you fired a lot of employees. I believe about 80% and in particular the famous moderators who had to monitor the networks a little to avoid racist messages, calls for violence and hatred. Finally, do you not regret this choice today which is still relatively radical when you know how much hatred can proliferate on a social network? », had notably questioned the journalist of the public service.
“We actually haven’t reduced moderation activity per se. Moderation is carried out by about 4,000 collaborators who work on it and the work has remained more or less the same. So, obviously, all that is hate speech, these speeches, they have decreased by 20 to 40% since the acquisition. So it’s less, not more.” Elon Musk then retorted… But enough to debunk the flagship face of the PAF!
“This is not what the various surveys that have been carried out say, it is rather the opposite. In fact, it is an explosion of these speeches that was noted », she insisted, while Channel 2 viewers could see on screen figures from several American studies claiming that “anti-Semitic messages” were up 105% and “racist slurs” by 200%.

Internet users in shock
A disagreement that intensified throughout the interview since the guest of “The 8 p.m. interview” repeated that he did not know where the studies that Anne-Sophie Lapix mentioned came from… A small tension on set which interested 3.75 million viewers according to Médiamétrie… Thus, many of them noticed this Wednesday, June 21, 2023 that Anne-Sophie Lapix’s Twitter account had suddenly been suspended…
At the same time, you have to block her 4 times, since she asked Elon Musk the same question 4 times on France2 and who pointed it out to her, slightly annoyed 🙂

Elon Musk had Anne-Sophie Lapix’s account suspended @aslapix which demanded censorship of right-wing, nationalist, etc. accounts. Karma. Musk should buy France TV, France Inter, Libé, etc, to clean up.➡️ Telegram: https://t.co/KQFm0QOsFppic.twitter.com/w8EAKDIRgS

I don’t know if that’s true but that would be a nice turnaround.
