French lawmakers are working to finalize legislation that would restrict access to social media for children under 15. Multiple reports say a parliamentary reconciliation or compromise agreement is reached, clearing the way for the bill to progress so it can take effect at the start of the new school year in early September. French President Emmanuel Macron is described as backing the effort and urging that the ban be in place by September. The reporting frames the push as part of a wider international trend toward tighter limits on children’s social media use, citing growing concern about potential risks to young people’s development and safety online. While the sources agree on the direction of the policy—ending or sharply limiting under-15s’ access—details on implementation and enforcement are not fully laid out in the articles. The bill’s timing is central to the coverage, with lawmakers trying to meet the September school-year deadline following the compromise process.
