France just became the first European country to ban social media for anyone under 15, with new rules kicking in September — forcing platforms to shut down existing underage accounts and implement strict age verification. Inspired by Australia’s lead, this move aims to shield youth mental health and safety, while the UK eyes similar bans for 16-year-olds plus a midnight-to-6AM curfew. But critics question how effective age checks really are — and whether digital curfews can be truly enforced. The global push to protect young users is heating up, but the real challenge lies in making these laws work in practice.
