Consiliul Constituțional din Franța a blocat legea care interzicea accesul la rețelele de socializare pentru minorii sub 15 ani

The French Constitutional Council rejected a law prohibiting minors under 15 from accessing social media, citing disproportionate infringement on their freedom of expression. The council emphasized that the proposed restrictions were not necessary or proportional to protect minors. While acknowledging the need to safeguard children's interests, they noted the broad ban could apply to online services with unproven risks. The law, which was set to take effect on September 1, included exceptions for educational resources but deemed them too limited. The French Parliament had adopted the bill on July 21, 2026.
