France Leads EU with New Social Media Ban for Kids Under 15

French lawmakers have passed a groundbreaking law prohibiting social media use for children under 15, making France the first EU country to implement such a restriction. This legislation, backed by President Emmanuel Macron, aims to protect young minds from the potential harms of social media, especially as children aged 12-17 reportedly spend over an hour daily on platforms like TikTok. The law, which will take effect for the upcoming school year in September, also bans advertising targeting minors and mandates age verification measures for social media sites. While many parents support the initiative, concerns remain about the effectiveness of age checks and the ability of children to circumvent restrictions.
