Norway drops exemptions for games and messaging apps from proposed social media age limit

Norway plans to apply its proposed social media age limit to platforms considered harmful to children, dropping earlier proposals to exempt messaging services and video games. The government has identified TikTok, Roblox and Snapchat as platforms that would be covered under the revised approach. The bill is expected to reach parliament by the end of 2026, although the government has not announced when the restrictions would take effect or what penalties would apply.
