France Bans Kids Under 15 on Social Media | Wilmington News
Description
France just banned kids under 15 from social media, following Australia’s lead and setting the stage for a global movement to protect youth mental health. With age verification systems in place, the law will phase in by September, blocking new accounts, then by January 2027, affecting all existing users. The UK, Spain, Greece, and Denmark are also moving toward similar restrictions. Experts like Dr. Jonathan Haidt highlight positive outcomes from Australia’s ban — including more family time, better sleep, and improved focus — underscoring the need for government support to help parents guide kids toward healthier digital habits and real-world experiences.
