What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- The exact implementation timeline for the assisted dying medical framework across French healthcare facilities.
- Whether the assisted-dying decision validated the entire law or only specified core provisions.
- Whether the Council rejected the social-media restriction itself, its age-verification mechanism, or both.
- The specific constitutional grounds and operative effect of the social-media ruling.
