France, Spain and Greece Weigh Social Media Restrictions

  • France, Spain, and Greece are calling for EU-wide requirements that users prove their age before accessing social networks, ahead of a June 6 meeting.
  • They argue that the lack of effective age-verification systems across the EU hinders enforcing age limits and requires leveraging the bloc’s 450 million consumers.
  • Several countries, including Spain and Norway, have introduced or planned age-based access restrictions while France is testing smartphone bans in schools for under-15s.
  • French President Macron stated online networks cause youth mental health issues, and Spanish PM Sanchez said a single real ID per user ensures minors avoid harmful content.
  • The initiative aims to compel tech firms to adopt robust age-verification technologies to better protect minors, reflecting growing concerns over social media’s impact on children.
