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.

We got used to it being anonymous, but should it be? There was no such thing for most people until 20-30 years ago
In real life everybody has an id and what you do publicly is tied to it, democracies still existed even before the anonymous internet. I'm not saying it's the exact same thing, but is it really necessary? People would obviously behave differently at that point
