The French Parliament has passed a bill banning the use of social media by children under 15 years of age. With this, France has become the first country in the EU to enact such a law. President Emmanuel Macron has supported the bill and it is set to be implemented from September.
Digital regulator Arcom will be responsible for enforcing the law. However, how the age of children will be checked is not yet clear. After France, Britain, Spain, Greece and Denmark are also preparing to set the minimum age for social media.
Many parents in France have welcomed the decision, while some teenagers worry that educational content and contact with friends will be affected. The Education Minister and Amnesty International have also said that a mere ban will not be enough, it is also necessary to educate children about the safe use of the digital world.
