Denmark is joining the push to formally limit Gen Z’s screen time. 

Denmark is joining the push to formally limit Gen Z’s screen time. Denmark is the latest country to propose tightening online age restrictions as governments respond to growing mental health concerns among Gen Alpha and Gen Z. Denmark’s prime minister has announced plans to ban social media for all users under 15-years-old, calling platforms “a monster” that’s “stealing our children’s childhood.” Citing rising rates of anxiety and depression, the prime minister even said 60% of 11-19-year-old boys don’t see a single friend in person each week, linking the trend to smartphones. The proposal follows a new ban on phones in primary schools, part of a broader push to rebuild offline connection.
