Macron îi cere Ursulei von der Leyen să interzică în UE accesul copiilor sub 15 ani la reţele sociale

French President Emmanuel Macron has urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to create a European text to ban social media access for those under 15, aiming to protect children across the EU. Following a French law being censored, Macron seeks a revised legislative approach that aligns with EU law and national constitution. He emphasizes the need for robust age verification solutions and clear regulations on addictive functionalities. Macron's push for a harmonized European ban reflects his commitment to child safety online, despite differing views among EU countries on age limits. The French Constitutional Council previously deemed a similar law as disproportionately affecting freedom of expression, yet acknowledged the need to protect children's interests.
