Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Tuesday (October 7) proposed banning social media for children under 15, citing concerns about anxiety, depression and social isolation among young people in the Nordic country.

"Never before have so many children and young people suffered from anxiety and depression as now," Frederiksen said during her remarks at the opening of parliament. "The mobile phone and social media are stealing our children's childhood,” she added.

She said that the government will propose a ban of social media for children and young people under the age of 15, with the option for parents to give permission from the age of 13.
