Didier Raoult, conspiracy theories, pro-lifers, “Hold-up” … France at the mercy of information objectors

On YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram or Facebook, they gather larger and larger communities of loyal, militant and strong supporters... A vast and diverse array of French citizens, ranging from militants of the yellow vests movement to the supporters of the controversial Covid miracle doctor Didier Raoult, have become “information objectors”. On YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram or Facebook, they gather larger and larger communities of loyal, militant and strong supporters that count several dozens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of fans. Disillusioned with the media and defiant, even hostile towards journalists, they have created a parallel universe of information, a “dark information” network, which, like the dark net, circulates information outside the checks and balances of traditional institutions and becomes increasingly radicalized.
This book is the result of an undercover inquiry into this dark zone of information. The author gives a voice to the principal figures of the movement, analyzes their visceral rejection of the establishment and explains, by drawing their diverse portraits, the creation process of dark information as well as the incredibly nefarious power of its parallel system of distribution channels.
The chasm between the French people and their information establishment has become a reality. Antoine Bayet tries to explain this phenomenon and to show, by helping us understanding it, how it could be contained and prevented from jeopardizing the 2022 presidential election campaign.
