France's Constitutional Council annuls law banning social media for under-15s: “It is a violation of freedom of expression”

France's Constitutional Council, the body responsible for ensuring that laws passed are in line with the Magna Carta, has censured on Friday the key article of the law that prohibits social networks for minors under 15.

The Constitutional Council considers that this measure implies “a disproportionate violation of the freedom of expression” of minors.
