Draft social media ban for under-15s in France submitted to the European Commission
The legal regulation prepared for the access of individuals under 15 to virtual networks in France has been completed and submitted to the European Commission.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the new legal framework restricting social media use for children under 15 has been prepared and submitted to the European Commission, stating that this practice should be spread across the entire continent.
New Legislative Process
French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the new regulation to restrict virtual media access for children under 15 is completely ready.
Following a meticulous one-month technical study, the bill was officially forwarded to the European Commission.
Previously Canceled Decisions
In mid-August, previous steps taken regarding the restriction for under-15s in France had encountered legal obstacles.
The initial regulations had been canceled by relevant institutions on the grounds of disproportionate interference with freedom of expression and insufficiency.
Call for Europe-Wide Implementation
Emmanuel Macron argued that the ban in question should not remain limited to France alone and should be a common rule across the entire continent.
It is demanded that these restrictions be implemented at European standards in order to protect children in the internet environment.
