Macron to push for social media ban for under-15s after school stabbing
Macron said in an interview late on Tuesday that he hoped to see results within the next few months.
"If that does not work, we will start to do it in France. We cannot wait," he told the France 2 public broadcaster, hours after a fatal stabbing at a middle school in Nogent, Haute-Marne.
Writing on social media platform X after the interview, Macron said such regulation was backed by experts. "Platforms have the ability to verify age. Do it," he wrote.
