The coalition program also envisions a crackdown on screen time through prevention and health guidance, and stricter smartphone rules in schools, which will require devices to remain at home or in a locker.
In June of last year, the previous Dutch government issued guidance to parents to wait until age 15 before allowing their children to use social media.
Earlier this week, a bill to ban social media for users under 15 passed the French parliament’s lower chamber and could take effect in September.
Australia paved the way by banning children from a range of platforms in December.
The new Dutch government also is launching a push to become more digitally sovereign and to reduce “strategic dependencies” in areas such as cloud services and data.
