France’s highest constitutional authority on Friday struck down the ban on social media for children under 15.
The Constitutional Council ruled that the flagship policy of President Emmanuel Macron’s second term infringed on freedom of expression.
“By prohibiting minors under the age of 15 from accessing certain online services, the law inherently requires every person, even an adult, to prove their age before accessing them,” it said in its decision.
Good news from France is rare.
Another mosque in France has been shut down, this one in a bleak north Paris suburb that usually makes headlines for criminal gangs and drug trafficking.
The Attaqwa mosque, surrounded by council housing and warehouses in a grim section of Aulnay-sous-Bois, was closed by authorities this week for allegedly propagating radical Islamist ideology and inciting terrorism. Videos posted on social media also showed an imam at the mosque exhorting Muslims to strike their small children if they don’t pray.
French investigating judges have added racism as an aggravating circumstance to the cases against all the suspects formally investigated over the 2023 killing of 16-year-old Thomas Perotto.
The decision, announced on Thursday, July 23rd, comes more than two and a half years after the fatal attack at the village’s winter dance in Crépol, in south-eastern France.
According to a source close to the investigation, the judges amended the charges after considering around 10 witness statements reporting remarks hostile to white people at the end of the dance, including: “We’re here to stab white people.”
When I moved into Paris’s seventh arrondissement, I was not expecting to find myself living in one of the city’s dreaded no-go zones.
My neighbourhood, admittedly, is not one of the notorious districts on lists of forbidding no-go zones in the French capital’s bleak north end, plagued with crack houses and criminal gangs. I live in one of Paris’s poshest areas. The seventh arrondissement is known for its burnished boulevards and grand monuments. Every morning, I walk my two dogs on the Champ de Mars in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
There was a time when the fate of Paris was inextricably linked to that of Gavroche, the street urchin imagined by Victor Hugo in his masterpiece Les Misérables–mischievous, irreverent, yet driven by an instinctive generosity that made him a paradoxical embodiment of the French people. The popular hero of our time is a certain Hamza, a slightly plump teenager who walks about bare-chested and sprays passers-by with a water pistol, demands a ‘toll’ from them to cross the Canal Saint-Martin–a branch of the Seine in the north-east of the capital–insults women with obscene vulgarity, provokes the police, films each of his provocations and turns his own delinquency into a daily soap opera on TikTok.
A French homeowner who opened his door to a family of illegal migrants out of compassion has been left with no access to his property after a year-long ordeal involving alleged threats, property damage, and a legal battle.
In the summer of 2025, a Mauritian couple with two young daughters approached 56-year-old Hervé from France’s Côtes-d’Armor region, asking if they could pitch a tent in the garden of the guest house he had spent years renovating. Moved by the children’s situation, Hervé decided to help.
A scandal has come to light alleging that pupils from French independent Catholic schools were deliberately excluded during the admissions process for a military secondary school. This case, which serves as a reminder that the victims of discrimination are not always those we might expect or those who make a profession of it, highlights a deeper problem affecting the military establishment: can the army today do without traditional families who, alongside their faith, still instil in their children a love of their country and a sense of sacrifice?
The demographic rise of migrants, overwhelmingly Muslims from North Africa, continues apace in France, and instead of alarm over this “great replacement,” the far-left party of La France Insoumise (LFI), which the Communist Jean-Luc Mélenchon leads, celebrates this change.

Le Pen found guilty but it’s her decision not to run, not the court’s
The verdict is in: guilty, but eligible. Le Pen’s ban was shortened enough to let her run in the 2027 presidential election, *IF* she decides to campaign wearing a court-ordered ankle tag for a year. Judges just handed her a tough choice. The call is now hers, not theirs.

Marine Le Pen will find out on Tuesday whether or not she can run for the French presidency in next year’s elections, when a Paris appeal court decides at 13:30 (11:30 GMT) whether to uphold an embezzlement conviction against her.
Le Pen, the 57-year-old leader of National Rally, has already run for president three times and came second to Emmanuel Macron in 2022 and 2017.
With under 10 months to go before the vote, she leads in the polls. If she does not run, her young lieutenant, Jordan Bardella, will stand in her place, so the verdict could have far-reaching consequences for France.

A “white march” is planned for Sunday, July 5, in honor of 17-year-old Louis, who was beaten to death by at least five multicultural thugs in the French city of Narbonne. Louis’ mother said this was no time for mourning, “but a time for war.”
Around 1,000 people marched through the southern French city of Narbonne on Sunday, June 28th, following the death of 17-year-old Louis, who was lynched by a gang of youths.
The march, organised under the slogan ‘Justice for All,’ was promoted on social media by several identitarian groups. Louis’s family declined to take part, saying they wished to avoid any political exploitation of their son’s death.

A Paris official has said she holds the US partially responsible for the record-breaking heatwave in France.
The comments were made as part of a scathing rebuke to American tourists, immigrants and expats who have been criticising France for its lack of air conditioning across the country.
Fresh videos circulating on social media show groups of young men smashing up cars and brawling in the streets, at a French music festival where women were injected with date-rape drugs and ‘attacked by North Africans.’
In one clip, a man appears to swing a barstool at a car and a group of men, while others nearby kick and stomp on another man as he lies in the street.
Another shows festivalgoers jumping on the shattered windscreen of a separate vehicle as music blares and people dance around it while piles of litter line the pavement.
Absolute chaos in Paris during the Fete de la Musique.
Incoming reports and videos show large-scale vandalism and many cases of violent attacks.
