France's Constitutional Council Rejects Under-15 Social Media Ban; Macron Seeks Rewrite

France's Constitutional Council — a body that reviews laws for compatibility with the constitution — struck down a ban on under-15s using social media, citing excessive limits on free expression and weak privacy safeguards. The law was to take effect in September. President Macron has asked PM Lecornu to revise it before the spring 2027 election.
