Denmark is set to implement a social media ban for children under 15, as announced by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on October 7. The proposed legislation allows children aged 13 and above to access social media platforms with parental consent. This move aligns with global trends toward increased regulations for online child safety, following Australia's 2024 proposal to prohibit access for minors under 16, potentially imposing fines of up to A$49.5 million for non-compliance.
