Norway to ban social media for under-16s
Norway is the latest country to move toward a digital age of majority, following the lead of Australia and Turkey in curbing children's social media access.
The proposed legislation aims to protect minors from addictive algorithms and the potential mental health harms associated with excessive online use.
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu's administration is expected to present the bill by summer, emphasizing that parents cannot manage these risks alone.
The move has reignited debate in the UK, where MPs recently rejected a similar ban for under-16s.
