Macron passed legislation to ban under-15s from social media. The Constitutional Council says this unduly inhibits the free expression of adults:
“By prohibiting minors under the age of fifteen from accessing certain online services, the law inherently requires every person, even an adult, to prove their age before accessing them.
However, by failing to specify the conditions and limits under which such proof must be provided, the legislature has not established the legal safeguards necessary to ensure compliance with these requirements.”
Macron has told Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu to re-work the legislation so that it can get past France’s top court. No chance of the UK bothering with concerns about liberty…
Burnham spinning like a wheel in the Commons:
“I will very much say so on the record… It was legitimate. I have always respected the result. I have never questioned its legitimacy. But I am within my rights to point out where foreign actors are looking to interfere in British democracy.”
