Ft, 'EU investigates pro-Russian disinformation relating to protests in France'

EU regulators are examining possible "online interference" and "disinformation campaigns" from non-EU countries that may have helped fuel protests in France and similar incidents of violence in other EU countries in recent days.

The Financial Times reports this, citing security officials, according to whom pro-Russian and far-right social media accounts, already linked to previous disinformation campaigns, have spread violent videos in an attempt to further fuel the chaos. Iran and Algeria are also among the countries suspected of being involved.
