Under-15 Internet Restriction: In today’s era, social media has become an important part of our lives. People of every class are using it today. Some are using social media for entertainment and some for their personal work. But in the last few years, with the increase in the craze of social media, its craze has also increased a lot among young children, due to which their mental balance is deteriorating and at the same time its bad effect is being seen on the body as well.

For this reason, in the last few years, many countries have banned social media for underage children. Recently, the French government has taken a big step on the use of social media. The French government has completely banned social media for children below 15 years of age in its country.

Why did the French government ban social media?

Regarding banning social media, the French government has also given the reason behind it. According to media reports, the French government has said that this step has been taken keeping in mind the mental balance and health of the country’s young children. According to the French Health Agency, about 90 percent of children aged 12 to 17 years use social media through the Internet. Most of these children keep looking at mobile continuously for 2 to 4 hours.

Experts believe that if a young child uses social media beyond a limited time, he may face health problems. Apart from this, there is also a decrease in the self-confidence of children. Along with this, bad thoughts start growing in their mind and then they gradually start adopting the wrong path.

What will happen if the new rules are implemented?

According to the new rules applicable in France regarding social media, from the month of September, children below 15 years of age will not be able to create a new account on social media. Whereas already created accounts will be deleted. The rule clearly states that children below 15 years of age will not be able to create accounts on Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook as well as other social media platforms.
