France has become the first European Union country to ban social media for children under the age of 15. The measure was enacted as French lawmakers approved a broader ban on social media and mobile phones specifically targeting high schools.
Following the legislation's approval, President Emmanuel Macron stated that France is leading the way in Europe regarding the protection of children. The new restrictions are designed to address concerns surrounding youth and digital technology within educational settings and across the nation.
