France bans social media for children under 15

France has banned social media for children under 15 years old. This is a new law in the European Union for young people.

People are worried about bad things children see online. Some families link harmful content to sad events for teens.

One mother shared how social media hurt her daughter. Her daughter suffered from mental health problems after using TikTok.

The new law needs a check before it can start in September. It will be hard to check ages and close old accounts.

Other countries like Australia also want to limit social media for kids. Spain, Denmark, and the EU are planning similar rules for young users.
