In a positive development for online freedom—which can feel rare these days—France's top court has rejected a proposed social media ban, citing concerns over free expression and privacy.
On Friday, France's Constitutional Council ruled that a proposed social media ban for children under the age of 15 would "disproportionately infringe upon the freedom of expression and communication." The court also found that the law failed to provide "the legal safeguards necessary to ensure the right to respect for private life," Reuters reports.
