Kids should be barred from using smartphones until 13 and social media until 18, a report said.
The French government-backed report said social media should be limited to those with "ethical thinking."
AdvertisementChildren should be barred from using smartphones until they turn 13 and social media until they are 18, according to a report commissioned by the French president.
The report, "Children and Screens: In Search of Lost Time," said that children should not be allowed to have cellphones before the age of 11, should be barred from social media before they turn 13, and that between 15 and 18, social media access should be "limited" to those with "ethical thinking."
Social media can have a strong impact on young people in particular, leading, in some cases, to suicide and exposure to dangerous content.
