France has passed a law that bans most social media use for children under 15, making it the first EU country to adopt such a nationwide restriction. The French Parliament approved the measure in July 2026, although it may still face constitutional review before full implementation.
Key points:
Children under 15 will not be allowed to create or use social media accounts.
Social media platforms must implement age-verification systems to check users' ages.
The French government wants the law to take effect from the start of the school year (September 2026).
Educational and scientific sites are exempt, and some services such as YouTube viewing may remain accessible while social features (comments, sharing, etc.) are restricted.
The law was introduced because of concerns about cyberbullying, addiction, mental health issues, self-harm, and excessive screen time among children.
