French lawmakers just passed a bill that would ban social media by under 15s.

This raises a lot of concern, as this comes perfectly with the agency of next presidential campaign starting in the next September 2026, the same date as the bill's application date. Strange timing...!

Thing is to ban social media for teenagers, this will require massive identification either through AI, identity method (KYC like), trusted certification issuers.

The problem is even bigger as this will not only check ID of teenagers but every French citizen to make sure they will be above the age.

IMO, everything is in place to prevent foreign interference for the election campaign, and shut the most freedom network and go in the censorship.

Fortunately, Nostr is there, completely decentralized, free, p2p.

This will become the only alternative long term for freedom of speech and opinion.
