France has become the first EU country to vote for a ban on social media use for children under 15, after parliament approved the measure ahead of the new school year. President Emmanuel Macron praised the law as a step forward, while critics questioned how it would be enforced and warned it could limit online anonymity and personal freedoms. Supporters argue the measure will protect children from the negative effects of social media. Public reaction is divided, with parents and teenagers expressing both support and concern. Details of enforcement are still being worked out.
