Dinamarca sella un pacto histórico para prohibir las redes sociales a menores de 15 años
El gobierno danés acuerda restringir el acceso a plataformas a niños menores de 15 años mediante su sistema de identidad digital MitID y estrictos filtros de edad.
In a pioneering Scandinavian policy breakthrough, the Danish government announced a broad coalition agreement aimed at barring children under the age of 15 from operating accounts on commercial social media networks.
Under the announced consensus, social network providers will be legally compelled to enforce the 15-year threshold. Parents may grant exceptional consent only for adolescents aged 13 and older following an individualized verification protocol.
Enforcement will integrate Denmark's national digital credential ecosystem, MitID, alongside privacy-preserving age-assurance APIs, ensuring platforms verify user eligibility without compromising or harvesting personal identity data.
Danish leadership stressed that commercial platforms systematically monetize adolescent vulnerability and disrupt circadian rest, making robust state-backed youth safeguards an ethical necessity.
Denmark's initiative highlights how digital discipline is becoming an urgent global standard. Limitra brings that precise governance directly to individual devices: Limitra App Block provides strict app limits, while Limitra Social delivers transparent peer accountability.
