PARIS: All French children under the age of 16 will have to seek parental approval to open an account on Facebook or any other social network under draft legislation presented on Wednesday (Dec 13).

The requirement is part of a French bill that seeks to adapt data privacy regulations and improve access to the information internet companies gather, store and in many cases sell to other firms about people's online activity

Maybe not such a bad idea.

Social media is the lead paint of our age.

But age of consensual sex will be 13 so the migrants can have their child brides! /sarc

Fox report last night - 92% of all teens check into social media once a day or more.

Try shopping in any store, so many people stopped and blocking the aisles looking at their phone.

It’s electronic crack, all ages addicted.

What good is age restriction?

Frankly, when I’m eating out, the kids around me are staring at their phones and it’s nice and peaceful.

But what about the 15 year old muslima mothers?

How can they join FBs Parisien Third Wife’s Club?
