The proposal has already gained broad support across Denmark\u2019s parliament, indicating strong political backing ahead of an expected vote. Officials say the move reflects growing concern about the impact of digital platforms on children\u2019s development. <\/p>\n<p>The decision follows a national study showing that young Danes spend nearly three hours daily on social media. Denmark\u2019s initiative mirrors similar restrictions in countries like Australia, which last year banned users under 16 from social media platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denmark to Ban Social Media Use for Children Under 15 &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; Denmark plans to ban social media use for children under 15 to protect their mental health and well-being, Khaama Press reported.
