    Welp looks like Eu as a whole will be banning it but at this rate they might as well make all social media 18+

  2. Good. Minors are way too annoying on social media. Politicians know this becaue they get too many trolls on twitter 

  3. Good on France. I hope it spreads throughout all of Europe.

    It’s going from state to state here in America

    Hallelujah. While we’re at it, can we make it 18+, not 15+, and outright ban X and Facebook in all of EU? At this point they just exist to export Russia’s and America’s Nazi problems.

  5. The issue is the method of enforcement. There is no non invasive way to enforce any of these x age content bans.

    So many of you are very dumb and not thinking this through. And the irony is you are the ones who will be whining like babies when you are forced to upload your ID or your account gets banned

  7. Also helps wean the kids off American tech businesses to stop the great American financial drain on the actual free world.

  8. Normally I would agree. But Australia called reddit social media and banned it.
    I get all my news from reddit. I can easily imagine radical right wing parents training their kids to hate like the old days if they are cut off from the world.

    Yeah, 15 year olds looking at social media is outrageous. They should be dating their 40 year old trans teachers like Macron did.

  10. The proposed law seems reasonable to me.

    What age do we consider enough adult to face social media: French parliament says 16

    Before this age, you can, of course, have access, but with parental supervision
