French authorities pressed online resale platforms to remove goods suspected of having been stolen during unrest, Yahoo reported. Vinted blocked users in France who attempted to list suspected looted merchandise, according to the BBC, while Bloomberg reported that the platform faced an influx of such listings.
Looting was reported in several retail settings. CGTN published CCTV footage showing a phone-accessory store being looted in Nice. Separately, an employee at a French video game store went viral after confronting rioters and defending the shop’s entrance, according to Kotaku and IGN. IGN quoted the employee as later saying, “I don’t think I should have done it.”
The employee, identified by Kotaku as Pierre, also became the subject of a cryptocurrency token. Cryptonews.net reported that a meme coin based on the viral shopkeeper reached a million-dollar valuation overnight.
A report by South Korea’s Maeil Business Newspaper described the unrest as violent protests connected to rising living costs.
