Lifestyle & CultureFrench Senate Votes on Bill to Restrict Social Media Access for Children Under 15
The French Senate voted on a bill in early April 2026 to restrict social media access for children under 15, requiring platforms like TikTok and Instagram to verify user ages.
France's Senate recently voted on a new bill restricting minors' use of social media. The bill stipulates that children under fifteen years old cannot use social media platforms. Platforms such as TikTok and Instagram must verify users' ages. The government stated that this law is intended to protect children's health.
Many French parents support this new law. Australia and Indonesia, among other countries, have already adopted similar regulations. Critics worry that age verification may affect users' privacy.
