“#Denmark is now leading the way in #Europe with a national age limit for #SocialMedia & a concerted effort to strengthen the digital wellbeing of #children & young people,” she said. “We are taking a necessary stand against a development where large #tech platforms have had free rein in children’s rooms for far too long.”

Pressure from #tech giants’ business models was “too massive,” the ministry added, citing a comment from Digitalization Minister Caroline Stage that through the agreement, Danish authorities were “finally drawing a line in the sand & setting a clear direction.”

“#Children & young people have their sleep disrupted, lose their peace & concentration, & experience increasing pressure from digital relationships where adults are not always present,” it said. “This is a development that no parent, teacher or educator can stop alone.”

“As one of the first countries in the #EU, #Denmark is now taking a groundbreaking step towards introducing age limits on #SocialMedia,” the ministry said. “This is done to protect #children & young people in the digital world.”
A coalition of lawmakers from the political right, left & center “are making it clear that children should not be left alone in a digital world where harmful content & commercial interests are too much a part of shaping their everyday lives & childhoods,” it said.
The Danish Digitalization Ministry statement said the age minimum of 15 would be introduced for “certain” #SocialMedia, though it did not specify which ones. Nor did the statement indicate how such a move would be enforced, in a world where millions of #children have easy access to screens.

Such a measure would be among the most sweeping steps yet by a #Europe govt to address concerns about the use of #SocialMedia among #teens & younger #children, which has drawn concerns in many parts of an increasingly #online world.
It follows upon a move in December in #Australia, where parliament enacted the world’s first #ban on social media for children — setting the minimum age at 16.

#Denmark on Friday announced a political agreement to #ban access to #SocialMedia for anyone aged under 15.
The move, led by the Ministry of Digitalization, would set the age limit for access to social media but give some parents—after a specific assessment—the right to give consent to let their children access social media from age 13.
