Overview

• A 324‑page parliamentary report recommends prohibiting all social networks for children under 15 and making them inaccessible to 15–18 year‑olds from 22:00 to 08:00.
• Commission president Arthur Delaporte said TikTok endangered users’ health and life and referred the platform to the Paris prosecutor alleging endangerment and possible perjury.
• Among 43 proposals, MPs call for a new parental 'digital negligence' offense, a major public‑information campaign, and the option to extend restrictions to under‑18s within three years if platforms fail legal obligations.
• TikTok told lawmakers it proactively removed 98% of violating content in France, but the report deems moderation insufficient and cites a 26% drop in francophone moderators between September 2023 and December 2024.
• Implementation faces legal and technical hurdles as France awaits an EU pilot for secure age checks and a 2023 national age‑authorization law remains unimplemented over EU conformity questions.
