Macron presiona a la Unión Europea para vetar redes sociales a menores

French President Emmanuel Macron is pushing the European Union to ban social media for children under 15, vowing to fight until the end. La Provincia reports that France has submitted a revised version of the proposal to Brussels after France's Constitutional Council blocked the original text, calling it a violation of free speech rights.
Macron's government faced a major setback when France's Constitutional Council rejected the initial proposal. The court ruled the measure violated freedom of expression protections guaranteed under French law. France did not give up. Instead, the government crafted a new version and sent it to Brussels for EU consideration.
Despite the legal roadblock at home, Macron signaled his determination to keep fighting. He declared, 'We will go all the way,' according to La Provincia, showing France's commitment to the social media age limit across Europe. The French leader believes the measure is needed to protect young people from online harms.
France's push comes as European leaders grapple with how to regulate social media for children. The age-15 ban would be one of Europe's strictest rules on youth access to platforms. If adopted across the EU, it would force companies like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook to verify user ages before allowing access to anyone under 15.
