Decizie istorică în Franța: copiii sub 15 ani nu vor mai avea voie pe TikTok, Instagram sau Facebook

France has become the first EU country to ban social media for children under 15, addressing concerns over digital content's negative effects. The law also prohibits mobile phone use in high schools. President Macron aims for the law to take effect in September 2026, although constitutional review may delay implementation. The ban excludes educational resources, focusing on social media platforms linked to mental health risks. Recent reports highlight significant smartphone usage among teens, with many experiencing negative impacts on self-esteem and exposure to harmful content. Families have sued TikTok for its role in teen suicides, and the law is seen as a crucial step for child protection.
