On Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026, the French parliament approved a new law banning social media use for children under the age of 15. The measure is set to come into effect after the summer holidays. However, officials have yet to clarify how the ban will be enforced.

This legislative move aims to regulate younger users' access to social media platforms across France. The decision marks a significant step in European efforts to address the impact of social media on minors.
