A viral TikTok account is impersonating the international news channel France 24 to spread fake news. The account uses France 24's logo and branding to appear legitimate.
It has published false reports, including a fabricated story about a military coup in Algeria. Experts say this is a clear example of "information manipulation."
The account's origins remain unclear. France 24 has confirmed it does not operate the TikTok profile and is taking action to have it removed.
Media analysts warn that such impersonation erodes public trust. They advise viewers to verify news by checking official broadcaster websites and other reliable sources.
