The newspaper the parisian identity theft victim. The national newspaper denounced, on May 11, the fraudulent practices of an Internet site, “leparisien.ltd”, which usurps her name and copies her graphic letter to spread false information, in particular about the war in Ukraine. The newspaper announced a procedure to “stop this plagiarism.”
the parisian therefore, it “recently filed a complaint” with Icann, a global regulator responsible for Internet address allocation, hoping to quickly recover the disputed domain name, “leparisien.ltd.” The latter, which does not redirect to any home page, was created “at the beginning of February”, underlines the newspaper, without knowing precisely “since when” the plagiarism has lasted.
diatribes against the West
The articles published there “retake” the graphic codes of the Parisian and reproduce the links to your actual site. “But the title, the photo and the text have nothing to do” with the media.
Everyone criticizes “The West, the United States or the war in Ukraine,” the newspaper points out, citing headlines such as “Joe Biden is a terrorist: new evidence” or “The war in Europe is no longer necessary. The US Secretary of State talks about new borders of Ukraine”. Others claim to bring the “truth about Zelensky’s shell-buying machinations” or about the French starving themselves while “the United States demands more money” from France “for the war in Ukraine.”
According the parisian, some links have been “sponsored” on Facebook “so they can be distributed more widely.” An article about an alleged “mass exodus” of Ukrainians to “escape military slavery” and “imminent death at the front” has also been “shared hundreds of times in recent days”, including on Twitter by centrist former senator Yves Pozzo di Borgo, who once transmitted misleading information to his approximately 100,000 subscribers.
If “it is impossible in the state to return to the creator of this false site”, the Parisian considers it “difficult not to see the shadow of Russia”, in a context of information warfare.
