French government presents new proposal to ban social media for under-15s

SIC Notícias14 September 2026 at 09:06

The French government presented a new proposal to ban access to social media for under-15s. This measure aims to regulate the use of digital platforms by children and teenagers in the country.

The French President hopes the ban will be operational in France when he leaves the Élysée. The implementation is thus linked to the end of his term.

Macron will have completed the maximum constitutional term of 10 years as president when he leaves the Élysée in the spring. This proposal emerges as one of the notable initiatives at the end of his term.

Why this matters

This proposal could set a precedent for other European countries, including Portugal, where parents and educators face similar challenges related to children's use of social media. The measure reflects a growing trend of governments assessing age restrictions for digital platforms, which could influence future European policies on protecting minors online.
