Denmark has announced a planned ban on social media access for users under the age of 15. This bold move, which joins a growing global roster of restrictions (like Australia's upcoming ban), stems from mounting concerns over youth mental health.
The enforcement, which sounds like something out of a futuristic movie, is set to include an official age-verification app. However, there’s a slight window: parents might be able to grant access to 13-year-olds following an assessment process.
It’s a clear shot across the bow of Big Tech, signaling that governments are no longer waiting for platforms to police themselves.
