French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to fast-track legislation banning social media use for children under 15, aiming for implementation by September. The move follows Australia's recent ban on under-16s using popular platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Macron also supports a ban on mobile phones in schools, with the draft legislation set to be submitted to the French parliament. FRANCE 24's Angela Diffley has the details.
