Denmark plans to ban teenagers under 15 from using social media, focusing on youth mental health

【Denmark Plans to Ban Children Under 15 from Using Social Media】According to The Guardian in the UK, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that Denmark is preparing to implement a ban on children under 15 using social media. She accused mobile phones and online platforms of "stealing children's childhoods," and electronic screens are damaging children's mental health, causing them to lose focus.

Frederiksen said, "We have unleashed a monster. The number of teenagers suffering from anxiety and depression has never been so high before."

The Danish government expects this ban to come into effect as early as next year. However, the ban is only advisory, and parents can decide for themselves whether to allow children over 13 to use social media. Social Media #YouthMentalHealth
