France is moving towards banning social media access for under 15-year-olds, following Australia's lead. President Macron aims for the ban to be implemented by September, citing mental health concerns. The law would restrict access to platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok, with a list of harmful networks created by the media regulator. The bill has support from pro-Macron parties and is expected to pass. Additionally, mobile phone use will be banned in senior schools. The legislation is part of a broader trend in Europe to protect children online.
