France Steps Up Child Safety Push With Proposed Social Media Ban

France has submitted a revised proposal to restrict social media access for children, President Emmanuel Macron announced Monday, after the country’s constitutional authority struck down an earlier version of the ban.

Macron said on social media that the government had completed careful technical work before formally notifying the European Commission of the new draft. That notification step is significant, since it’s meant to confirm the legislation lines up with European Union law before it can move forward.

The renewed push signals that Paris intends to keep pursuing tighter rules for young people’s access to social platforms, even after its initial attempt ran into legal obstacles. Further details on how the revised proposal addresses the concerns that led to the earlier ban being overturned are expected as the process with EU regulators continues.
