France votes to bar under-15s from social platforms
TL;DR Summary
France’s parliament approved a two-stage plan to block under-15s from creating social-media accounts and to ban mobile phone use in schools, with new accounts blocked from Sept 1 and existing ones from Jan 2027, pending a Constitutional Council review that could delay implementation; supporters say the measure protects children online while opponents warn about constitutionality and enforcement challenges.
