French lawmakers are voting on a law that would ban social media access for children under the age of 15. The proposed legislation requires social media platforms to set up systems of age verification approved by the French privacy regulator.
Protecting Minors
The law aims to protect minors from the potential risks of social media, including the impact on their health and safety. President Emmanuel Macron has expressed his support for the law, stating that it is necessary to help children become responsible adults and citizens.
Other countries, such as Australia, have already implemented similar bans. The European Commission is also working on regulations to protect young people from the potential harms of social media.
