France's highest court has struck down a ban on social media for children under 15. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The ruling marks a significant shift in the country's social media regulation. Previously, the French government had planned to introduce such a ban to ensure the safety of minors on social networks.
However, the court deemed the measure unconstitutional and blocked it. The court argued that the ban restricts citizens' rights and hinders children's access to information.
This decision could impact France's social media regulation policies. The government will now have to consider alternative approaches to protecting children.
According to Reuters, the ruling has intensified debates over digital rights and child protection in the country.
