France's Constitutional Council struck down a bill banning social media access for under-15s from September, ruling the restrictions disproportionately infringe minors' freedom of expression. The government plans to revise the draft by spring 2027, aligning with the court's call for parental flexibility. The ruling may influence EU-wide measures expected from the European Commission in September. **(POLITICO)**
