  The Dutch government Tuesday advised parents to forbid children under 15 from using social media apps like TikTok and Snapchat, the latest country to propose curbs over mental health concerns."Intensive screen and social media use can be bad for the (mental) health and development of children," said the Dutch ministry for health, wellbeing and sport.


The Dutch government has proposed a ban on mobile phones, tablets, and smartwatches in classrooms starting January 1, 2024, to minimize distractions and enhance student focus and academic performance. This initiative, supported by Education Minister Robbert Dijkgraaf, aims to create a more conducive learning environment by limiting the use of social media and other digital distractions during school hours. The proposal has sparked a debate, with some advocating for the ban to improve concentration, while others argue that digital devices are essential tools for modern education. The government plans to engage in further discussions with schools, parents, and students to refine the policy before its implementation.
