Denmark is considering following Australia’s footsteps after securing agreement to ban social media access for anyone under 15 years old. Starting December 10, Australia will enforce a world-first ban on social media for children under 16, while Denmark’s proposal could become law by mid-2026. The plan increases pressure on tech platforms amid growing concerns about children’s exposure to harmful content and commercial interests. The proposals would allow some parents to grant access from age 13, making it one of the most sweeping measures by a European Union government to limit social media use among teens and younger children.
