Macron pushes for EU-wide social media age limit

(MENAFN) French President Emmanuel Macron reiterated on Wednesday that he is advocating at the European level for a ban on social media use for minors below a certain age.

"I believe we need to move toward banning social media up to a certain age," Macron said during a debate in Toulouse, noting that discussions continue over whether the threshold should be 14, 15, or 16. "We’ll need to settle it. And we are currently building a coalition in Europe to achieve this," he added.

Regarding his own use of social media, Macron said he “does not rule out leaving social media,” emphasizing that any decision would be part of a careful and comprehensive process.

France already passed a law in 2023 requiring parental consent for users under 15, though enforcement has been delayed amid concerns over compliance with European regulations.
