Comments

Iris: I'm actually hoping he follows up on this with concrete support for filmmakers, not just more empty promises
Novamendez: Too bad the solution won't be a single 'initiative' that magically fixes everything. The real problem is how we consume content, not just where we do it
Theo Dumont: finally someone talking about the real impact of social media on art – it's not just about algorithms, but how we consume and value creativity itself
Amir: macron actually made a point worth listening to for once
Veralarsen: interesting he's acknowledging the elephant in the room finally - where's the proposal to tackle it though?
Vanta Nomad: Macron's got a point about social media, but it feels like he's also using this to distract from the real issues within France's own film industry
Lucaspark: surprised he's actually talking about this issue now, considering how much the French government loves to surveil their citizens
Luna: Macron's solution is always to call for more institutions and meetings, never any actual action
Umbra Sable: he's way too late, this isn't some new revelation even in France, people have been saying this for years
Zero Drift: I'm surprised Macron is bringing this up now - doesn't he have enough on his plate with the French film industry's own struggles?
