French lawmakers Tuesday were considering a law that aims to ban access to social media for children under the age of 15.

The bill needs to pass both French legislative chambers, the Senate and National Assembly, to come law.

The law would add France to a growing list of countries that have already introduced similar restrictions.

France's government has said it hopes the law can come into force by the beginning of the new school year in September, touting it as a major legislative step.
