Overview
- Denmark reached a political agreement to introduce a 15-year minimum for certain social platforms, with a parental opt‑in that could allow access from 13 after review.
- Copenhagen has not specified which platforms will be covered or how enforcement will work, saying the law would target major services with public profiles linked to documented risks.
- Australia’s eSafety regulator confirmed Reddit and Kick.com must comply with the national 16+ rule from 10 December, with possible fines up to A$49.5 million for violations.
- Major services such as TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram are included in Australia’s regime, while popular messaging apps are generally not covered.
- In Germany, where no statutory minimum age exists, officials debate FSK‑style age ratings and curbs on attention‑driving algorithms, as studies cite heavy daily use by minors.
