Overview
- The government announced a cross‑party agreement to restrict access for anyone under 15 on certain social platforms.
- Some 13- and 14-year-olds could gain access if parents grant consent after a specific assessment process.
- The Digitalization Ministry did not list the platforms that would be covered or outline verification mechanisms.
- Officials say the measure aims to protect children from harmful content and commercial pressures linked to sleep loss and stress.
- The step is being compared to Australia’s December law that set a 16-year minimum and allows fines of up to A$50 million for platform failures.
