"French President Calls for Teenage Curfew Amidst Nationwide Riots"

French President Emmanuel Macron is calling on parents to keep teenagers at home to quell the rioting that has spread across France following the deadly police shooting of a 17-year-old. Macron believes that social media platforms like Snapchat and TikTok are fueling copycat violence and wants them to remove sensitive content. He also expressed concern that some young rioters are influenced by violent video games. The unrest has led to over 875 arrests and at least 200 police officers injured, with tensions escalating in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The government has deployed tens of thousands of police officers to restore order, and Macron is considering declaring a state of emergency.
