France's Constitutional Court Overturns Social Media Ban for Minors Under 15

15 Ağustos 2026France 24

France’s Constitutional Court has invalidated a proposed law that aimed to prohibit children under 15 from using social media. The court found that the ban would infringe on freedom of expression and raise significant privacy issues related to age verification.
In response, the government intends to create a new version of the bill, as President Emmanuel Macron has expressed worries about the effects of social media on the well-being of young people.
This ruling comes amid growing global concerns about the impact of social media on young users, particularly regarding mental health and exposure to harmful content. France's approach reflects a broader debate on how to protect minors in an increasingly digital world while respecting individual rights.
The court's decision highlights the delicate balance between protecting children and upholding civil liberties. While the government's intentions to safeguard youth are commendable, the ruling underscores the complexities involved in regulating digital spaces, particularly regarding privacy and freedom of expression.
