Norway prepares a ban on children's access to social networks up to the age of 16, and one of the platforms that could be targeted is TikTok, Snapchat and Roblox.
The bans on social networks for children, which Norway intends to impose, will also include provisions aimed at "harmful platforms", the government said on Monday.
