Catherine Field: France Correspondent on Parliament voting on a bill banning social media for under-15s

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Another country is looking to ban social media for children: France.  The French Parliament is due to vote on a bill that would block social media platforms such as Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok for those under the age of 15.   Another clause would also ban the use of mobile phones in senior schools.  France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking the bill is on a fast-track procedure, and it looks as though it will pass.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
