France’s top court has just blocked a sweeping social media ban for teens under 15, calling it an overreach that violates free speech and fails to properly verify ages. Originally backed by President Macron and set to roll out in September, the law would have required age checks for new accounts and existing ones by January—but the Constitutional Council rejected it as disproportionate and impractical. The Prime Minister had even requested the review, and now Macron’s office is rushing to rewrite the legislation, aiming for a revised version by early 2027. This ruling echoes growing European debates across the UK and Australia about how best to shield young users online without stifling expression.
