France’s Parliament has approved a ban on social media platforms for children under the age of 15. The new legislation aims to protect minors from online risks and potential harms associated with social media use. Lawmakers have indicated they’ve studied the implementation challenges faced by Australia with similar measures, striving for a more effective system. The goal is to prevent circumvention of the ban, ensuring it is difficult for younger teens to bypass the restrictions. Details on enforcement mechanisms are yet to be fully outlined, but the law signals a firm stance on youth online safety. This move reflects growing concerns across Europe regarding the impact of social media on children’s well-being.
