Cutting screen time in France

I'm glad to see France taking the lead in this. I hope other countries follow suit. From: Euronews
"A team of experts commissioned by the French president warned against screen and social media use for children. Children under three years old should not have any screen time and up to age six it should be “strongly limited,” according to an expert panel commissioned by French President Emmanuel Macron. The panel also said on Tuesday that children under the age of 11 should not be allowed a mobile phone and anyone under 13 should not own a phone with internet access. Meanwhile, social media use should be forbidden for anyone under 15 and those above that age should only have access to ethical platforms such as Bluesky."
