France aims to follow Australia's example and ban social media platforms for children starting from the 2026 school year. A bill banning the use of social media for people under the age of 15 will be submitted for legal scrutiny and is expected to be discussed in parliament early in the new year.
French President Emmanuel Macron has made it clear in recent weeks that he wants France to quickly follow Australia's world-first ban on social media for minors under 16, which came into effect in December. The ban includes Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube.
Le Monde and France Info reported on Wednesday that the draft law was already ready and contained two measures: a ban on social networks for under-15s and a ban on mobile phones in secondary schools, where students aged 15 to 18 study. Phones have already been banned in primary and lower secondary schools.
The bill will be submitted to France's Council of State (Conseil d'État) for legal review in the coming days. Education unions will also examine the proposed ban on phones in secondary schools. The government aims for the ban on social media to come into effect from September 2026.
