Juristes pour l’enfance calls for regulation of connected objects for minors

The organization Juristes pour l’enfance is calling for stricter regulations regarding minors' access to connected objects and smartphones. This follows a decision by the French Constitutional Council to censor much of a law intended to protect minors from the risks associated with social media use.

Juristes pour l’enfance has proposed a specific framework to regulate the sale, offering, and transfer of smartphones and other connected devices to individuals under the age of 16. The group argues that limiting constant internet connectivity through these devices is essential to mitigating risks to the physical and mental health of children.
