The trend of banning social media for children is gaining momentum worldwide. Following Australia, France is now considering legislation. Several other countries are also considering it.

In France, children are going to be banned from using social media.

Another country is about to join the list of countries banning social media for children. The French National Assembly has approved a bill banning social media for children under the age of 15. This bill proposes banning social networks and social networking functionality for children. It will now be sent to the Senate, and once enacted, children under 15 will be barred from using social media in France.

France will follow in Australia's footsteps.

In Australia, children under the age of 16 are prohibited from using social media. Now, France is preparing to follow the same path. French President Emmanuel Macron has often blamed social media for violence among youth. In his New Year's address, he appealed to people to protect their children from social media and screens. Macron wants this law to be implemented in France before the start of the new academic session in September this year. Introducing this bill, Laure Miller said, "We want to set clear boundaries. Our children are studying less, but they are comparing themselves with each other more. This is a fight for a free mind."

The idea is also being discussed in other countries.

Like France, many other countries around the world are considering emulating Australia in banning social media. In addition to France, Britain, Denmark, Spain, and Greece are also imposing restrictions on children's social media use. The European Parliament has also called on the Union to set a minimum age for children to access social media.
