Denmark Backs EU Youth Social Media Restrictions with Strict 15 Age Limit

Families in Denmark may soon see stricter social media age limits for teenagers. Danish Digital Affairs Minister Christina Egelund supports new European Union rules.

The European Commission proposed the Kids Act to limit harmful online content. It targets dangerous social media algorithms that affect young users. Minister Egelund wants a strict age limit of 15 years old. She opposes exceptions that allow parents to give consent earlier. Egelund argues that parental opt-in options create strong peer pressure. Teenagers often feel forced to ask parents for early app access.

Danish and Nordic authorities are moving to implement mandatory digital restrictions. Families living locally should monitor these upcoming platform rules. This story was reported by CPH Post.
