‘Brains of our children are not for sale’ France moves to ban children under 15 from social media

France has moved to accelerate legislation that would ban social media use for children under 15. The move was announced by French President Emanuel Macron in a boldly worded video statement early on Sunday morning.

“We are banning social media for under-15s, and we are going to ban mobile phones in our high schools.“I believe this is a clear rule. Clear for our teenagers, clear for families, clear for teachers, and we are moving forward,” Macron said.
