There is so much to he said about the hypocrisy of France's proposed #SocialMediaBan for children, but let's start with this quote from President #Macron:

"The emotions of our #children and #teenagers are not for sale or to be manipulated, either by American #platforms or Chinese #algorithms."

As if those were the only two God-given options. He'd rather ban an entire idea than help us build something better.

French lawmakers vote to ban social media use by under-15s

Legislation, which also bans mobile phones in high schools, would make France the second country after Australia to take such a step

And then there is this gem of course:

#Macron hailed the vote as a “major step” to protect French children and teenagers.

In a post on #X !
