Denmark is planning to follow Australia in introducing stricter restrictions for younger teens to access social media. The Danish government announced last month that it had secured an agreement by three governing coalition and two opposition parties in parliament to ban access to social media for anyone younger than 15. The proposed law could take effect by mid-2026. It's not yet clear how the restrictions would be enforced. Many social media platforms already ban children younger than 13 from signing up, but officials say these restrictions don’t always work. Danish authorities report 98% of children younger than 13 have profiles on at least one platform.
