法国最高宪法机构周五驳回了一项禁止15岁以下儿童使用社交媒体的法案，这对总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙力推的立法造成了打击。
宪法委员会认定，该法案第一条“构成了对15岁以下人群表达和通信自由的侵犯，这种侵犯既不适当、不必要，也不成比例”。
在裁决中，宪法委员会还对面向所有用户引入年龄验证系统可能对隐私造成的影响表示担忧。
这项原定于9月1日生效的法律原本会禁止未成年用户使用TikTok、Snapchat和Instagram等社交网络，同时还附带其他多项限制条款。
法国政府曾将这项禁令宣传为更好保护青少年免受社交媒体平台有害影响的手段，这些影响包括焦虑、抑郁、睡眠障碍和网络骚扰。
马克龙曾在7月感谢议会成员支持该法案，并承诺将于9月前付诸实施。
裁决公布后，爱丽舍宫表示，马克龙已责成总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努起草一份新的“法律上站得住脚的法案”。

总统府表示，马克龙推动这项改革的决心并未减弱。
马克龙将网络儿童安全定为其总统任期最后几年的标志性议题，而这项新的社交媒体禁令可能会成为他推动通过的最后几项重大国内改革之一。马克龙将于明年迎来任职十周年，且和美国一样，法国总统任期仅限连任一次，因此他无法参加今年4月的全国大选。
在周五的裁决公布后，支持该法案的马克龙前总理加布里埃尔·阿塔尔表达了失望之情。
“我们注意到并尊重这项适用于所有人的决定，”他在社交媒体上表示，并誓言将继续对抗他所称的“对我们孩子的致命毒药”。
宪法委员会并未对另一项将于9月1日起在高中禁止使用手机的条款作出裁决。法国小学和初中已经禁止学生携带手机。
在越来越多的警告指出社交媒体对儿童有害的背景下，越来越多的国家正在采取措施限制未成年人使用社交媒体。
France’s social media ban for children under 15 struck down by top constitutional authority

France’s top constitutional authority on Friday struck down a ban on social media access for children under 15, dealing a blow to the legislation championed by President Emmanuel Macron.
The Constitutional Council found that Article 1 of the legislation “constitutes an infringement that is neither appropriate, necessary, nor proportionate” to the freedom of expression and communication of those under 15.
In its ruling, the Constitutional Council also expressed concern about the potential impact on privacy of introducing an age-verification system for all users.
The law, which was due to take effect on Sept. 1, would have barred younger users from social networks such as TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram, among other restrictions.
The French government had promoted the ban as a way to better protect young people from the harmful effects associated with social media platforms, including anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and online harassment.
Macron had in July thanked members of Parliament for backing the legislation and pledged to enforce it by September.
After the ruling, the Elysee Palace said Macron had tasked Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu with working on a new “legally robust draft” of the legislation.

Lecornu will have to work “as quickly as possible” on a draft that takes into account both the Constitutional Council’s ruling and the European regulatory framework, the palace said.

The presidency said Macron’s determination to see the reform implemented remained undiminished.
Macron has made online child safety a defining issue of the final years of his presidency, and a new ban could be one of the last major domestic reforms he ushers through. Macron will mark a decade in office next year, and he cannot run again in April’s national election as, like the U.S., France has a two consecutive term limit for its presidents.
Following Friday’s ruling, Macron’s former prime minister, Gabriel Attal, who backed the proposal, expressed his disappointment.
“We take note of it and respect this decision, which applies to everyone,” he said on social media, vowing to continue fighting against what he described as “a deadly poison for our children.”
The Constitutional Council did not rule on a separate provision banning mobile phone use in high schools starting Sept. 1. Students are already prohibited from having phones in French elementary and middle schools.
A growing number of countries are taking steps to restrict social media access amid increasing warnings over its harmful effects on children.
