In a speech to parliamentarians, Denmark's Prime Minister Meta Frederiksen said mobile phones and social media are stealing our children's childhoods, adding that by allowing their use, we have unleashed a monster.
She said many children have difficulty reading and that screens and social media expose young people to things they should not have to see.
Earlier this year, Denmark's Wellbeing Commission found that 94% of Danish 7th graders had a social media profile, despite not being 13, the minimum age for many social media platforms.
