France Bans Social Media for Kids Under 15

France Bans Social Media for Kids Under 15

France has become the first country in the European Union to ban social media for children under 15.

This new law will start in September and fully take effect in January.

Other countries like Greece and the UK are also planning similar bans.

The goal is to protect children from harmful content and ensure that social media companies make their platforms safer.

However, some people worry that these bans might not work well and could limit personal freedoms.

The European Commission is also planning rules to make social media safer for children across the EU.
