France Proposes Revised EU-Wide Social Media Ban for Children Under 15
France has submitted a revised proposal to the European Commission to ban social media use for children under 15, following the Constitutional Council's rejection of an earlier version for infringing on freedom of expression. President Emmanuel Macron emphasized protecting children online and called for the European Union to adopt a harmonized ban. The new draft aims to comply with EU laws, with Macron hoping for the ban to be in place before he leaves office next year. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is expected to address the issue soon.
