Sweden's government commission has proposed banning social media access for individuals under the age of 15, with the measure slated to take effect on January 1, 2028. This proposal aims to safeguard children's mental well-being amidst concerns that "an entire generation is being lost to endless scrolling," as stated by Public Health Minister Jakob Forssmed. The ban would encompass popular platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and YouTube, necessitating age verification by these companies. Notably, video games such as Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite would be exempt from this regulation. Sweden joins a growing list of countries, including Australia, Brazil, and Indonesia, that are implementing or considering similar restrictions on children's internet use.
