Macron announces social media ban for under 15s in France
French President Emmanuel Macron announced the enactment of a new law regulating children's use of social media, including a ban for those under 15 years old. The aim is to protect children from digital risks such as addiction, inappropriate content, and mental health issues like sleep disorders and anxiety. The law will take effect at the beginning of the upcoming school year after approval by the French Parliament, with confirmation that it is pending final review by the Constitutional Council. This measure is part of increasing international efforts; France has already taken the lead ahead of Australia, and other countries such as Greece, Indonesia, and Malaysia are preparing to adopt similar measures to safeguard children from the negative impacts of technology and digital media. Despite support, the law faces debates regarding age verification mechanisms and privacy protection, amid growing importance of regulating children's use of social media in a safe and responsible manner.
