Consiliul Constituţional din Franța a respins interzicerea reţelelor de socializare pentru minorii sub 15 ani, o lovitură pentru Emmanuel Macron la final de mandat

The French Constitutional Council rejected a law aimed at banning social media use for minors under 15, citing concerns over freedom of expression. The law, part of President Macron's initiatives, was deemed overly broad and not proportionate to protect minors. It aimed to restrict access to popular platforms and messaging apps, but lacked penalties for users. The Council did not address mobile phone bans in schools, as it only reviewed the social media access article. Following the ruling, Macron instructed the Prime Minister to revise the law, aiming for implementation before the 2027 presidential elections.
