  "title": "France's Constitutional Council on Wednesday ruled that a law banning social media use for people under 15 was unconstitutional, saying it excessively restricted individual freedoms.\n\nThe law, which was passed in 2020, required social media platforms to verify users' ages and impose restrictions on accounts used by minors.\n\nIn a statement, the Council said the law was overly broad and did not adequately protect minors from online harm.\n\nThe Council said that while protecting minors was a legitimate goal, the law's blanket ban on social media use for those under 15 was not a necessary or proportionate measure.\n\nThe ruling has sparked debate about regulating social media and protecting minors online.",
