Le Conseil constitutionnel valide la quasi-totalité de la loi d’urgence agricole, y compris les volets controversés sur la réintroduction dérogatoire de pesticides interdits
Cette dernière étape avant la promulgation pour un texte censé répondre à la colère agricole de l’hiver intervient au moment où l’agriculture française fait face à une sécheresse sans précédent, avec des conséquences dramatiques pour de nombreuses productions, végétales mais aussi animales.
On Friday, France's Constitutional Council decided to censure Article 1 of the law prohibiting social networks for minors, deeming the ban on users under 15 years old as "disproportionate" and not "necessary and proportional" to the goal of protecting minors online. The panel of legal experts argued that the blanket ban could apply to communication services where risks to minors' health and safety remain unproven, emphasizing the imprecision surrounding the scope of the law's application.
The council also noted that the bill failed to establish sufficient legal safeguards for users' right to privacy, as verified by online platforms to prove their age. The ruling came after the Senate had attempted to impose a "blacklist" of specific platforms, avoiding the risk of constitutional censure. Catherine Morin-Desailly, the Senat rapporteur, criticized the government for not listening to the Senate's concerns and warned that the text may lose its substance.
Similar concerns were echoed by Socialist MP Arthur Delaporte, who called the presidential obstinacy a "bad advisor." The ruling has disappointed President Emmanuel Macron, who had tasked the Prime Minister with drafting a legally robust law addressing the issue, with plans to finalize the legislation by spring 2027.
