France's newly approved law banning children under 15 from social media platforms will take effect at the start of the upcoming school year, according to The Zioneer. The legislation requires platforms to implement age verification and block accounts of underage users. The move contrasts with the current situation in Israel, where no such final-stage legislation exists.
France's final approval of the social media ban for children under 15, first reported by The Zioneer earlier this evening, now includes a specific implementation timeline: the law will take effect at the start of the next school year. Platforms will be required to verify users' ages and block accounts of minors below the threshold. The move underscores a growing international trend of restricting minors' social media access, as The Zioneer has reported in the UK, UAE, and Australia. In Israel, no similar legislation is currently in advanced stages of approval.
