Comment by Emmanuel Macron
President of France
One of our G7 priorities will be, as well, children's protection against AI and digital abuse. There is no reason our children should be exposed online to what is legally forbidden in the real world.

Quote attributed to Emmanuel Macron (President of France): "One of our G7 priorities will be, as well, children's protection against AI and digital abuse. There is no reason our children should be exposed online to what is legally forbidden in the real world." The France24 source URL (2026-02-19, India/New Delhi AI Impact Summit) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim from that exact France24 article and corroborating coverage (NewsBytes, Euronews): Macron said children's protection against AI and digital abuse would be a G7 priority and "There is no reason our children should be exposed online to what is legally forbidden in the real world," in a speech where he also announced banning social networks for under-15s and cited Grok generating sexualized deepfakes of children. Author attribution correct; source is the primary France24 article. Year 2026 correct and relevant. Vote alignment: banning AI companion chatbots for minors is a concrete measure within Macron's stated umbrella of "children's protection against AI and digital abuse," so the "for" vote on "Ban AI companion chatbots for minors under 18" is consistent with his clearly protective stance. Verified.
