France's Macron pushes for fast-track ban on social media for kids under 15

I'm not sure if banning social media for kids is the right move ... I mean, what about their online safety and how they're going to learn about the world outside their schools? It's true that social media can be addictive and harm mental health, but restricting access won't make it go away . We need to find a balance between keeping our kids safe and teaching them how to use these platforms responsibly . I'm curious to see how this plays out in France and if other countries will follow suit .

I'm low-key concerned about this ban . I mean, social media can be toxic for kids, but completely taking it away? That sounds like a total overreaction . What about the educational value of having a platform to express themselves and connect with others online? It's not all sunshine and rainbows on social media, I get it, but is total ban really the answer? I think we need more nuance in this conversation . Maybe instead of banning it outright, France could explore ways to regulate its use among teens, like stricter parental controls or online safety guidelines . That way, kids can still have access to social media while minimizing the risks .
