France supports social media ban for children under 15
French President Emmanuel Macron has indicated that a decision on banning social media use by children under 15 should be expedited
France long stated its position in favor of banning children under 15 from using social media, in addition to requiring platforms like X, Reddit, and Mastodon to provide age verification.
This week, the president of the European nation, Emmanuel Macron, insisted that the European Union move quickly on a decision on the issue to protect children from sensitive content.
Greece appears to have initiated the proposal, now followed by Spain and France. In the latter, the government already requires certain controls regarding social media use by children under 15.
Macron has called for a swift decision in the region regarding measures such as limiting the time young people spend online and the content they can access, as well as the actions they could take online, such as online purchases, which could even pose a danger to users and third parties.
