The French National Assembly has approved a ban on social media for children under the age of 15. The law, passed on Tuesday, is scheduled to take effect in September. France is now the first European country to establish a legally mandated age limit for social media platforms. This legislation aims to protect minors from online risks and potential harms associated with social media use. The new rule will require age verification measures to be implemented by social media companies. The move reflects growing concerns regarding the impact of social media on young people's mental health and well-being. Violations of the law could result in fines for parents or guardians.
