  "account": "Paris, September 14 — In the wake of its previous social media ban for under-15s being ruled invalid by France's top constitutional authority, President Emmanuel Macron announced today that the government has submitted a revised proposal to the European Commission.

The French leader has made the ban a top priority and aims to see it implemented by the time he steps down next year. He has also advocated for similar legislation across the EU. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is set to discuss a potential EU-wide ban for children during a speech in Brussels this week.
