I hope the Yellow Vests are careful about who exactly they're taking information from.  There are already reports that the complaints and such against Macron are being hyped by the same Russian bots that hyped Donald & Brexit.  They wanted Le Pen to win instead of Macron, so they wouldn't be sad if Macron was taken down by angry people in France...

Yes, be vigilant. But also keep in mind the establishment will likely exaggerate any Putin-influence in this because they want to equate all criticism, even legitimate criticism, with the kind of dishonest far-right agenda.
