France Bans Social Media for Under-15s Amid Wider EU Regulation

France has enacted a law prohibiting individuals under the age of 15 from using social media, with the ban set to take effect in September. This move by France is part of a broader trend of increased social media regulation across Europe. As other European countries consider similar measures and the EU proposes new regulations, these developments are expected to influence how artists connect with younger demographics.
