Footage from the French riots has been widely shared on social media, and one platform has now stated that it is actively monitoring the situation.
Snapchat has stated that it will not tolerate content that promotes violence or hatred.
It will continue to closely monitor the situation, according to a spokesperson quoted by the Reuters news agency.
This follows President Macron’s earlier request that the “most sensitive content” be removed.
He claimed that social media had contributed to the escalation of violence by facilitating the organization of protests, resulting in more violence.
As France braces itself for what is expected to be another night of violence and disruption on Friday, there has been looting and destruction around the country.
