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.

When platforms are left to police themselves they will do what's best for them and their profitability. Hopefully these changes will have a positive impact on young people and reduce all forms of cyber bullying.

Then it will be a check based on someone's ID cards.
Moreover, I believe Danish people are more honest than people in many parts of the world.

And prevent young minds from getting unduly corrupted or getting into fear of things.
