Other media like The team, Mediapartbut also personalities such as Jean-Michel Aulas, or the supporter who slapped Neymar, were also targeted.
For what purpose(s)? Discrediting, attacking, smearing and dumping on the networks certain internal characters – but not only – or institutions. Ubuesque. Unthinkable.

An account paid by the communication of the club “Paname Squad” posted this message on the networks: “The Parisian supporters love you very much, you know that… Did you get your “message” across tonight, and what timing!? If you could press like that on the pitch…» Ambiance.
