French Lawmakers Approve Social Media Ban for Children Under 15, Leading EU in Digital Safety
French lawmakers have passed a comprehensive ban on social media use for children under 15, marking a significant step in digital safety within the EU. This initiative, championed by President Emmanuel Macron, aims to mitigate the harmful effects of digital content on young users. The legislation also includes a ban on mobile phones in high schools. The move follows lawsuits against platforms like TikTok, linked to teen suicides. The law is expected to take effect in the new school year, though it may face constitutional review. The ban excludes educational and scientific resources.
