- France's parliament approved a law banning social media use for under-15s beginning January 2027.
- Age verification will be introduced in two phases: from September 2026 for new accounts and January 2027 for all existing users.
- Social media platforms must use age-check tools authorized by the French privacy regulator, raising privacy concerns.
- This law aligns with similar restrictions in Australia and the UK, reflecting growing European efforts to protect children's online wellbeing.
Young people need to be part of this conversation so that a ban is done with them and not to them.— Tama Leaver, Professor of Internet Studies at Curtin University, Western Australia, told the BBC that 'Young people need to be part of this conversation so that a ban is done with them and not to them.'

- The UK government intends to block social media use for 16- and 17-year-olds from midnight to 6 AM.
- This measure targets platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube but includes a simple opt-out option.
- Critics argue the policy lacks effectiveness due to the ease of bypassing the curfew.
- VPNs remain unrestricted, enabling further circumvention of the proposed social media limits.
We have decided not to limit VPNs— Online Safety minister Kanishka Narayan told BBC Breakfast that the government has decided not to restrict access to VPNs as part of a social media ban for under-16s.

- The UK government will prohibit under-16s from accessing major social media platforms to shield them from harmful material and excessive screen time.
- This policy follows Australia's precedent and includes multimillion-dollar fines for platforms that fail to enforce age restrictions.
- Further protections will limit stranger interactions on gaming and livestreaming platforms, with possible curfews and breaks in endless scrolling for youths.
- While public support is strong, concerns remain about privacy and users potentially migrating to less secure online environments.
