TREE NEWS update: French President Emmanuel Macron has called on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to draft a pan-European law prohibiting children under 15 from using social media. Macron also proposed unified rules to identify and regulate features that may cause user dependency, and urged mandatory safety standards by default for digital platforms.
Macron Urges EU Law Banning Social Media Under 15
This is a regulatory signal that could reshape the digital ecosystem in Europe, with implications for platform operators, advertisers, and the broader attention economy. The push for default safety standards and dependency-focused feature regulation goes beyond age limits, targeting product design itself. For market observers, the key question is whether such a framework gains traction at the EU level and how it might set a precedent for other jurisdictions, potentially affecting user growth and engagement metrics across major platforms.
