This article is not considered a psychological operation. It is straightforward news reporting on France's Constitutional Council striking down a proposed ban on social media for children under 15, explaining that the court found the law too broad and a threat to free expression and privacy. While it supports the goal of protecting minors, it presents the judiciary's decision as a necessary check on overreach, framing future revisions as expected rather than defeated.
