The Netherlands government has proposed a ban on social media for children under the age of 15, amid growing concerns about the impact of social media on young people’s mental health and well-being. The proposed ban aims to protect children from the potential harms of excessive social media use, including cyberbullying, online harassment, and the spread of misinformation.
By restricting access to social media platforms, the government hopes to give children a safer and healthier online environment, and to encourage more constructive and creative activities. The proposal has sparked a debate about the role of social media in children’s lives and the need for greater responsibility from tech companies.
