The French President said he will ban social media use for kids under 15yo. What do you think of that?

That's probably going too far and would certainly be very hard to regulate, but I can understand the problem.
The social[?]-media companies and the money-men who run the major ones, certainly should be made accountable for what happens on them. Remember we are the means to their commercial ends, not customers of their services. Their customers are the advertising-agencies, major retailers and any Tom, Dick or Harry who will buy the information.
When pressed about some wrongful activity, for example posts encouraging unhappy teenagers to kill themselves, as has happened, they try to wrigglel out of, try to whinge that "we have taken the posts down".
Not enough: the operators must DELETE ALL posts from the originator and any copiers, BAN those individuals permanently from any and all further use of the site, BLOCK the sending address, and send their identities to other social-media operators.
If the posts are encouraging outright criminal activity, failure to inform the Police as well should be regarded as assisting the crime; just as it is an offence to harbour a known offender from the Police.
