France is grappling with growing worries about the adverse effects of social media on children. A committee of French lawmakers has recommended a ban on social media for children younger than 15. Additionally, the committee has put forward a digital curfew for those aged 15 to 18.
The recommendations come from a report prepared by the committee after hearing from families, social media officials, and influencers. The French government, led by President Emmanuel Macron, has indicated it is considering restrictions for young people. Australia is also taking steps to introduce new regulations that might limit social media use for individuals under the age of 16.
