Macron Calls for Social Media Ban for Under 15s
French President Emmanuel Macron proposed, through a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, a ban on social media for children under 15 across all European Union countries. This comes after France's failure to pass a domestic law this year that would prevent children from using these platforms, amidst growing concerns about the impact of social media on mental health and the well-being of young people. Macron aims to unify European regulations, emphasizing that this has become a necessity to comprehensively protect children, despite opposition from some European countries that prefer to leave the decision to parents. The proposal is generating widespread political debate in Brussels and may encounter hurdles due to divisions within European parliaments over how strictly access to social media should be regulated.
