French lawmakers have reached a compromise on a bill that would ban social media access for children under 15, with a final vote scheduled for Tuesday. This legislation, strongly supported by President Emmanuel Macron, aims to protect minors from harmful online content and addictive platform features. The bill aligns with the EU Digital Services Act, though the European Commission will oversee platform compliance with the age restriction. Similar age-based restrictions on social media use for minors are being implemented or considered in other countries like Australia, the U.K., and Turkey. AI
