Denmark Social Media Ban for Under-15s

Exam-focused facts from the 12 December 2025 current affairs briefing.

Key facts

The Danish government announced last month that it had secured an agreement by three governing coalition and two opposition parties in parliament to ban access to social media for anyone under the age of 15.
The proposed measure would give some parents the right to let their children access social media from age 13, local media reported.
Danish authorities have said that despite the restrictions, around 98% of Danish children under age 13 have profiles on at least one social media platform.
A new 'digital evidence' app, announced by the Digital Affairs Ministry last month and expected to launch next spring, will display an age certificate to ensure users comply with social media age limits.
