Milan, 15 June (LaPresse) – The ban on social media use by children under 15 will “normally” come into force at the start of the new school year. ‘MPs will vote on the bill by 15 July. By the end of the year, we will close existing accounts held by children under 15,’ announced French President Emmanuel Macron in an interview with TF1. ‘It is harmful to our children and young people. They are not ready; they are too young,’ he explained, ‘it hinders their personal development. We must protect them.’
