Digital majority: Macron tries it all to impose his vision in Europe

While struggling to find a new wording to establish a digital tax in France, the government will have to contend with the announcements from the European Commission.

Translated from French Read in French

French President Emmanuel Macron has urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to set a 15-year-old limit for minors to access social media platforms. Macron's request comes ahead of von der Leyen's State of the Union speech on September 16, in which she is expected to announce a ban on social media for children under 13.

The French government is working on a new bill to restrict social media access for minors, but it faces challenges in making the ban compatible with the French Constitution and European law.
