France's top court strikes down under-15 social media ban as unconstitutional

France's Constitutional Council has struck down a law that would have banned children under 15 from using social media, ruling it infringes on fundamental freedoms. The legislation was intended to protect minors from harmful online content, but the court found it went too far in restricting civil liberties. France will now need to find alternative ways to regulate children's access to social media platforms.
