FRANCE 24 English France’s Macron pushes for social media ban to protect childen under 15 • FRANCE 24 English

French lawmakers are set to vote on a draft law that would ban social media for children under 15, a measure advocated by President Macron to protect kids from excessive screen time. The legislation also includes a ban on mobile phones in high schools. This follows Australia’s December ban on social media for under-16s. Macron emphasized the need to shield children from the manipulation of their emotions by foreign platforms and algorithms, amid growing concerns over the impact of screen time on child development and mental health.
