Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen MissBook for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, June 30 (Xinhua) according to Agence France-Presse, Le Monde and other local media reported on June 29, the French Senate approved a new law requiring social platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram to verify the age of users, and minors under the age of 15 need their parents' consent to use the social platform.

Tuyuan PexelsCTOnews.com noted that the law aims to reduce the time spent using electronic devices for teenagers and to protect minors from cyber bullying and other criminal acts. At present, the law has been approved by the Senate, but the effective date is not clear, and the specific implementation details have not been determined.

Meanwhile, Jean Noel Barrot, France's minister for digital transformation and telecommunications, told lawmakers that the "landmark" law would be implemented as soon as possible.

In France, the relevant social platforms are theoretically not open to people under the age of 13. But according to data provided by the French National Commission on Freedom of Information (CNIL), some users have been signing up for the site since the age of 8, and more than half of 10-to 14-year-olds use multiple social platforms.
