June 11 (UPI) -- French President Emmanuel Macron said he plans to ban social media for children younger than 15.
Macron said in a post on X that the move was based on a recommendation from the experts on the Screens Commission, a group of medical, psychological and legal professionals he assembled in 2024.
The group said in April 2024 that in its opinion, for those "from the age of 15, the symbolic age of the digital majority, access to social media should be limited to that with an ethical conception."
"Platforms have the ability to verify age. Let's do it," wrote Macron.
