Denmark to ban social media for children under 15 due to mental health concerns

Denmark is set to become one of the first countries in the European Union to implement a ban on social media for children under the age of 15. This decision is driven by growing concerns regarding the mental health of young individuals.

The ban aims to address the potential negative impacts of social media usage on children, particularly in relation to their mental well-being. The specific details of the legislation and its implementation timeline have not been disclosed.

This move follows a broader trend in various countries that are increasingly scrutinizing the effects of social media on youth. As previously reported, mental health issues among children and adolescents have been rising, prompting discussions about the role of social media in these challenges.
