France just became the first EU country to ban social media for anyone under 15, with President Macron calling it a necessary step to protect kids’ mental health from big tech. The law, set to take effect next school year, also bans ads targeting minors and requires age verification. Australia already restricts under-16s, while the UK, Spain, Greece, and Denmark are following suit. Platforms like TikTok face close scrutiny as regulators worry algorithms push extreme content. Parents are split—some applaud the move, others fear loopholes or unintended consequences for teens’ social lives.
