French lawmakers have proposed a law seeking to ban children under the age of 15 from accessing social media platforms.
The draft legislation, which was presented in parliament, also recommends curfews and stricter usage limits for teenagers aged 15 to 18.
Supporters of the bill argue that excessive exposure to social media harms children’s mental health and safety. The proposal is expected to spark debate in France, where concerns over online addiction and cyberbullying have been rising.
If passed, the law would make France one of the first European countries to impose such restrictions on young people’s use of social media.
