French Set To Pass Bill Banning Social Media Access For Children

French Parliament are on the path toward banning social media for children under age 15, Reuters reports. The compromise bill will have a final vote on Tuesday, and would take effect at the start of the school year in September. The measure is strongly backed by French President Emmanuel Macron. A report published last December found that social network use leads to reduced self-esteem and exposure to content associated with self-destructive behaviors, including suicide. Several families in France have sued Tik Tok over teen suicides.
