France is among a growing number of nations considering restrictions on social media use for minors, as experts warn of the mental health risks these platforms pose to young people. While networks like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube can foster creativity, community building, and support for marginalized groups, specialists highlight the dangers of excessive exposure for children. On Monday, the French National Assembly will debate a proposal to ban social media for those under 15. Similar legislation is being considered in the UK and Denmark, while Albania banned TikTok in March 2025 and Australia prohibited under‑16s from all social media.
