But Macron is not giving up.
As Emmanuel Macron, who is failing, approaches the end of his second and last French presidential term, he is clearly thinking about his legacy.
But, with no less than 7 prime ministers under his rule, the legacy is instability, mass migration, and social chaos.
So, he needs shiny new legislation that’ll look good – he thinks – in the pages of future history books.
Such is the case of his social media ban for under-15s.
While the core idea is not so divisive, the actual plans for implementation bear all the marks of the Globalist ideas he is always advancing.
Yesterday, France’s top court blocked the social media ban bill, saying it infringed upon freedom of expression.
Reuters reported:
“The bill would have barred children younger than 15 from opening a social media account from September 1. Accounts already open would be closed within four months by social media platforms, which would also need to use age verification approved by the French privacy regulator.
But France’s Constitutional Council found that the bill, while requiring everyone to give proof of age, failed ‘to specify the conditions and limits’ under which it should be provided, as well as infringing on freedoms and privacy.
‘The Council holds that the contested provisions, on the one hand, disproportionately infringe upon the freedom of expression and communication and, on the other, fail to provide the legal safeguards necessary to ensure the right to respect for private life’, it said.”
