France’s Social Media Ban

RTÉ (Hacker News):

French politicians have passed a bill that will ban social media use by under-15s, a move championed by President Emmanuel Macron as a way to protect children from excessive screen time.

It will now go to the Senate, France's upper house, ahead of becoming law.

[…]

The legislation, which also provides for a ban on mobile phones in high schools, would make France the second country to take such a step following Australia's ban for under-16s in December.
