**France's Social Media Ban for Under-15s Blocked by ...

2026-08-17T15:33:55Z

**France's Social Media Ban for Under-15s Blocked by Constitutional Council**

A planned ban on social media use for children under 15 will not take effect as scheduled this September. France's Constitutional Council has ruled the law inadmissible, halting the measure just weeks after it passed through Parliament.

The legislation, approved by lawmakers less than a month ago, was set to launch on September 1st—the traditional start of the French school year. However, the Council found the ban to be a disproportionate interference with constitutional rights, specifically the freedoms of communication and expression.

**Vague Criteria and Privacy Concerns**

The Council raised several concerns about the law's broad and imprecise language. The criteria for determining which platforms would fall under the ban were insufficiently defined, creating the risk that harmless services could be swept up alongside genuinely problematic ones. While "educational and scientific services" were exempted, the legislation provided no specific examples, relying instead on existing EU regulations.

The age verification requirements also drew criticism. The Council noted that user privacy was inadequately protected, despite the law placing responsibility for implementation squarely on platform operators.

**Macron Vows to Press On**

This setback marks the second time such legislation has stalled. A previous draft by Renaissance MP Laure Miller was previously rebuked by an EU commissioner.

Nevertheless, President Emmanuel Macron remains committed to the policy. He has tasked Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu with drafting a revised, legally sound version that aligns with EU law, targeting implementation by spring 2027 at the latest. The EU Commission, for its part, has announced plans to introduce its own social media regulations following the summer recess.

Wanted to get wifi recently. But it looks like I have to sell my soul for it.
On top of it it is only possible with a Facebook or LinkedIn account.

Fossify is a collection of open-source, ad-free Android applications designed as a privacy-focused revival of the original Simple Mobile Tools suite, which was acquired by a third-party company in 2023. The project aims to provide simple, offline-first utilities like calendars, galleries, and file managers without compromising user data.

Key Privacy Benefits:
Zero Data Collection: The apps do not collect, store, or share any user data with third parties.

No Ads or Trackers:
The entire suite is completely free of advertisements and hidden tracking mechanisms.

Offline-First Design:
Applications function fully without an internet connection, ensuring your files and information stay on your device.

Open Source Transparency:
All code is publicly available on GitHub, allowing independent verification that no hidden surveillance is present.

Minimal Permissions:
Apps request only the essential permissions needed to function, reducing potential security risks.

Awesome, thank you!
Would it be possible to make it downloadable that we can listen to it offline? Or upload it somewhere which it is downloadable like Odysee?
