Édouard Philippe: Regulating screen use among young children
Proposal put forward by Édouard Philippe on July 5, 2026. Topic: Screens and Digital Technology in Schools. The observatory also publishes quotes from 10 other public figures on this topic.
If we do not protect our children, if when they are very young we do not regulate this use of screens; and when they are older, we do not teach them to use the tremendous potential of new technologies, then we fail at everything!
Original quote (French)
Si nous ne protégeons pas nos enfants, si lorsqu'ils sont très jeunes nous ne réglementons pas cet usage des écrans ; et lorsqu'ils sont âgés, nous ne leur apprenons pas à utiliser le potentiel formidable des nouvelles technologies, alors nous ratons tout !Source: edouardphilippe.fr · archived copy
