Denmark to ban social media for under-15s, prime minister: We've unleashed

The Danish government is proposing to ban some social media apps for people under 15, according to the country's prime minister.

"We have unleashed a monster," Mette Frederiksen told Denmark's parliament on Tuesday. "Mobile phones and social media are stealing our childhood."

A study published by Denmark's welfare commission earlier this year found that 94% of the country's young people had a social media profile before they turned 13, despite this being the minimum age for many social media platforms.

The study also found that nine to 14-year-olds spent an average of three hours a day on TikTok and YouTube.

Frederiksen did not provide details on how a ban would be implemented, an issue Australia is grappling with, but there is some public support for her proposal.

In 2024, 50,000 people in Denmark signed a petition calling for the banning of TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram.

According to Frederiksen, parents should be able to give permission for their children to have accounts from the age of 13.

Earlier this year, the Danish government also announced that it would ban mobile phones in schools and after-school clubs, meaning that almost all children aged between seven and 16-17 will be legally required not to bring their phones to school.
