France is moving towards becoming the first nation in the European Union to ban access to social networks for individuals under 15 years old, if a bill is approved by both the lower house and the senate. This initiative, promoted by President Emmanuel Macron, comes after similar measures adopted in Australia and Indonesia and ahead of a ban on smartphone use in high schools. Details on how the ban will work are still under discussion, and Solange Mougin provides more information on this topic. This measure reflects a growing concern for the online safety of young people and the impact of social networks on them.
