French media ordered by electoral commission not to publish content of hacked Macron messages
Hiding the info to get him elected[Independent] France's electoral commission has ordered media not to publish contents of Emmanuel Macron's leaked campaign emails to avoid influencing the election. It warned news outlets in France that journalists could face criminal charges for publishing or republishing the material, under laws that came into effect at midnight forbidding any commentary liable to affect the presidential race. There were fears the hack could swing Sunday's final vote, where Mr Macron was expected to comfortably beat far-right candidate Marine Le Pen.As much as 9GB gigabytes of data were posted on a profile called EMLEAKS to an anonymous document sharing site under two days before the final vote. While French election rules forbid the media from publishing the emails, they also ban Mr Macron or his team from commenting on or denying any allegations. His En Marche! party said it had "been the victim of a massive and coordinated hack" on Friday evening, adding that it had "given rise to the diffusion on social media of various internal information". A spokesperson said the communications only showed the normal functioning of a presidential campaign, but that authentic documents had been mixed on social media with fake ones to sow "doubt and misinformation". Hiding his bizniss in Cayman islands, not Bahamas as he denies. Wait til he gets elected then the dirty shit can become public knowledge. That'll CERTAINLY make him legitimate /s Posted by: Frank G 2017-05-06 |
