Under‑15 Social Media Ban

Updated: 2025.10.07 14D ago 1 sources
Denmark’s prime minister proposes banning several social platforms for children under 15, calling phones and social media a 'monster' stealing childhood. Though details are sparse and no bill is listed yet, it moves from content‑specific child protections to blanket platform age limits. Enforcing such a ban would likely require age‑verification or ID checks, raising privacy and speech concerns. — National platform bans for minors would normalize age‑verification online and reshape global debates on youth safety, privacy, and free expression.
