French President Emmanuel Macron challenged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to present a European text that prohibits access to social media for all minors under 15. The challenge was issued during a public address.
The proposed measure aims to protect all children in the European Union. Macron argues that this ban should apply uniformly to all minors under 15 across the European area.
The proposal comes in a context of growing concern about the effects of social media on the mental health and development of young people. The European Commission has not yet formally responded to the challenge launched by Macron.
