The French Government presented a new version of the proposal to ban social media for under-15s. This new proposal comes after the country's Constitutional Council rejected a previous version of the same text.
The information was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron. The leader did not specify what changes were introduced in the new version of the proposal, but the measure maintains 15 as the minimum age for access to social media.
The original proposal had been deemed incompatible with the French Constitution by the Constitutional Council, which identified issues related to freedom of expression and other fundamental rights of young people. The French executive therefore had to reformulate the text to address the objections raised by the regulatory body.
