Denmark is considering social media ban for younger children

Denmark is the latest country that is reportedly considering a social media ban for younger children.

According to Politico , Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Tuesday that "mobile phones and social media are stealing our children’s childhood," and that the government would introduce a social media ban for children under 15.

Frederiksen made the remarks in her opening speech to the Danish parliament, Politico reported.

Politico said Frederiksen did not give further details on a proposed ban, and a bill regarding a social media age limit was not listed in the government's legislative program.

Australia passed a law that prohibits social media use for kids under age 16, and Norway is considering a similar ban.
