The French Parliament has approved a bill prohibiting individuals under the age of 15 from accessing social media platforms. The legislation aims to protect minors from online risks, including exposure to harmful content and cyberbullying. This move follows increasing concerns about the impact of social media on children’s mental health and development. The law requires platforms to verify user ages and implement measures to prevent underage access. France is now joining a growing number of countries considering stricter regulations for children's online activity. Details of enforcement mechanisms and penalties for non-compliance are yet to be fully outlined. The bill’s passage represents a significant step towards safeguarding young people in the digital age.
