TL;DR Summary

France is bracing for another night of violence and disruption as riots continue to spread across the country. Social media platforms, including Snapchat, have pledged to proactively monitor and remove content promoting violence or hatred. The riots, sparked by the shooting of a 17-year-old boy by police, have led to looting, destruction of property, and fires. President Macron has called for parents to keep their children at home and has accused social media of inflaming the violence. The French government has rejected UN accusations of police racism. Major public events are being canceled, and the Tour de France organizers are prepared to adjust to the situation. The unrest has also spread to French Guiana, where a man was killed by a stray bullet during a protest. Armored vehicles will be used to prevent the riots from spreading further, and the sale of fireworks and flammable products will be restricted. The UK has updated its travel advice for France, warning of disruptions and targeting of public buildings and parked cars.
