Denmark plans social media ban for under-15s
Story 3
Denmark has announced plans to ban social media use for children under 15 amid concerns over the impact of digital life on childhood.
The policy has cross-party support and is part of wider efforts to protect young people online, with the government allocating 160 million Danish kroner to the initiative.
Children aged 13 and above may still access social media with parental consent, though details on how this will be verified have not yet been explained.
Officials say the move aims to prevent harmful content and commercial pressures from shaping children’s everyday lives.
Denmark will also be watching Australia’s similar social media ban for under-16s, which starts next month.
