In a significant blow to the government's efforts to regulate online content, the Constitutional Council has ruled that a recently passed law is a "disproportionate infringement on freedom of expression." The law, which aimed to curb the spread of misinformation and hate speech, has been criticized by civil liberties groups and opposition parties as a threat to press freedom and online discourse. With this decision, the Council has effectively struck down key provisions of the law, dealing a major setback to the government's attempts to exert greater control over the internet. The ruling is likely to have far-reaching implications for the country's online landscape and may set a precedent for future cases involving freedom of expression.
