Description

French President Emmanuel Macron proposes a ban on social media for children under sixteen, inspired by Australias model. He cites concerns about depression, cyberbullying, and sleep issues, emphasizing that childrens brains are not fully developed to handle online content. Macron believes large social media platforms lack interest in monitoring harmful content, leading to the proposed age verification process, similar to the one already in place for adult websites.
