Summary/Abstract: Our article explores the influence of fake news and digital social networks on public opinion, focusing on the Benalla affair and French laws against information manipulation. It questions the role of platforms like X (e.g., Twitter) as popular tribunals and examines the legal and media implications of the Benalla case. The analysis also highlights the ambiguity of fake news definitions and their impact on judicial decisions. Lastly, it sheds light on the challenges posed by "post-truth" and the transformations induced by technological innovation in the dissemination of falsehoods.
