Most parties in the Danish parliament said they support implementing a 15-year-old minimum age requirement for social media. It is not yet known which social media platforms will be affected.

    verifiable bad effect on children.

    Oh, so they’ll be able to pay to get off the baddies list, then. I get it.

      Nah, I doubt it. This is Denmark, not the US. But it means that it won’t be like the UK, where all websites just IP ban people from there since the laws are too broad. Still a huge privacy nightmare though.

          Yeah, Denmark is doing lots of stupid stuff wrt online privacy right now. But there is not some corrupt “let the big tech firm pay us off to not be affected” reason behind this, as the commenter suggested. More a protect the children and a “protect the children™” reasoning.

        This is Denmark, not the US

        That’s not how lawmakers think, surely you can’t be that naive?

        This will 100% be used as evidence to do these things in other places, and no one from Denmark will adequately warn that.
