The French government is considering measures to address the negative impacts of social media on children. A committee of French lawmakers has proposed a ban on social media platforms for those under 15 years old. They also suggested a nighttime digital curfew for users between the ages of 15 and 18.
The recommendations follow a report by the committee, which gathered evidence from various sources, including families, social media representatives, and influencers. The French President’s office has indicated that they are considering restrictions for minors. Australia is also moving forward with legislation that could restrict social media use for those under 16.
