Regeringen vill införa skarp åldersgräns för sociala medier

Regeringen ger i dag en utredare i uppdrag att undersöka möjligheterna att införa en skarp åldersgräns för sociala medier. Om det inte går ska utredaren även analysera om föräldrars rätt att lämna samtycke kan begränsas. – Det handlar om att ge barn deras barndom tillbaka, säger ministern.
