Overview
- The CNC, which suspended the €3 million social‑platform fund Wednesday, said threats against commissioners and staff made calm review impossible.
- The pause followed streamer Ultia’s on‑air claim she would veto far‑right proposals and her removal from the panel for serious ethical breaches.
- Figures on the right amplified the backlash, which the CNC says swelled into an unprecedented wave of online aggression.
- Creators and industry groups condemned the halt, with Umicc calling it a hard stop for projects and the SACD chief preparing a letter urging a reversal.
- The fund replaced CNC Talent to back YouTube, TikTok and Twitch works while barring political news formats, and the CNC is largely financed by industry levies rather than general tax revenue.
