France Bans Social Media for Teens | Dover News
Description
France just became the first EU country to ban kids under 15 from social media, alongside a ban on phones in high schools — a bold move aimed at shielding teens from online harm. Sparked by families suing platforms like TikTok over alleged links to teen suicides, the law reflects growing parental frustration with tech giants and echoes concerns about protecting youth like alcohol. Set to roll out next school year, it faces constitutional review and enforcement hurdles — including verifying ages and handling existing accounts — as experts scramble to figure out how to make it work in practice.
