French President Emmanuel Macron said he would push for European Union regulation to ban social media for children under the age of 15 after a fatal stabbing at a school in eastern France.
In an interview with French public broadcaster France 2 aired on Tuesday night, Macron said he hoped to see results within the next few months.
“If that does not work, we will start to do it in France. We cannot wait,” Macron declared hours after a fatal stabbing at a middle school in Nogent, Haute-Marne on Tuesday, June 10th.
In a post on X after the interview, Macron said such regulation was backed by experts. “Platforms have the ability to verify age. Do it,” he wrote.
