France passes law banning under-15s from social media

France has passed a law that prohibits children under the age of 15 from using social media. The new legislation will come into effect in January, at which point social media platforms will be required to verify the age of all users. This move aims to protect young people from the potential risks associated with social media, including cyberbullying and online harassment. Social media companies will need to implement age verification measures to comply with the new law.
