You may use it only until you are 15. Alternately, you may choose any 15-year window in your life. Choose wisely.

The wisest choice is no period at all

Its possible to have back and forth conversation on a wikipedia user talk page, are they banning wikipedia too? The comments section on a news website? Desktop email clients and hotmail accounts?

I can't see a way where this doesn't end up being used to restrict information from wider society. Even just banning kids from the internet, is restricting millions of people who deserve to be able to access the resources on the www

If this is any guide, maybe there should also be an upper age limit, too.

I hope they've written a very broad definition of social media.

That ship has long sailed. Most teens will find a way and the ones that don't will be social rejects.

Social media is fundamentally a part of our social fabric. There's no going back on that. Instead, collectively we should promote healthier social networks not prohibit them. Norway is fucking stupid here.

Also, wtf are Norvegian parents doing with their infinite oil money they don't have time to care for their teens?

Why does it ~~incorrectly~~ say limit in the headlines then correctly say minimum in the first sentence.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

A minimum is a type of limit.

I like the idea social media is for kids only and adults are banned. If that applies to advertisers and bots too then it could be a winner!
