Kidoz Positions Mobile Gaming to Benefit from France’s Under-15 Social Media Ban

Kidoz Inc ( (TSE:KDOZ) ) has provided an announcement.

On January 19, 2026, Kidoz Inc. publicly welcomed France’s proposed ban on social media use by children under 15 from September 2026, framing the measure as part of an accelerating global shift in how brands reach young audiences. The company said advertisers are already reallocating youth-focused budgets away from social networks, which face increasing scrutiny over data profiling, algorithmic manipulation and harmful content, and toward compliant, brand-safe environments such as mobile games, where Kidoz offers contextual, privacy-by-design advertising that avoids personal data, aligns with COPPA and GDPR-K, and provides transparent, auditable media. Kidoz argued that tighter regulations and reputational risks around social media are driving a long-term realignment in youth marketing, positioning privacy-first, in-game advertising as a scalable and effective alternative channel for brands seeking to maintain reach and early brand affinity with younger consumers.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:KDOZ) stock is a Hold with a C$0.42 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kidoz Inc stock, see the TSE:KDOZ Stock Forecast page.
