French Parliament greenlights social media ban for under-15s

France's Parliament has passed legislation to ban social media access for children under 15 years old, establishing France as the first European nation to implement such a restriction on platform use by minors. The vote reflects growing international momentum toward regulating social media use among younger users.

Why it matters: Organizations operating social platforms must prepare for legal compliance in the EU market, including age verification mechanisms and content policies aligned with France's enforcement approach.
