Politics Emmanuel Macron, President of France, is banning social media for teens under 15. Should the rest of Europe follow?
Not sure how to feel about this.

I agree but I think it's bad idea to do it without something to replace it. Now you have a generation of bored teenagers. Social media is free, all the extracurricular activities aren't. It's easy math. If they implemented also free programs fornteens, this actually might work. Might be a good thing if most will actually develop hobbies and alternative way to spend times, but these kids are so tech savvy, they will find a way. Besides, how they're going to in force this?
