“Norway said Friday (April 24, 2026) it will present a bill this year making it the latest country seeking to ban social networks for under 16s, adding that technology companies will be responsible for verifying the age of its users.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results report that Norway plans to introduce legislation to ban social media for users under 16 and that technology companies will be responsible for age verification. The claim specifies a date (April 24, 2026) and year (2026), which is consistent with the nature of the search results discussing future or recent legislative actions regarding this topic. The evidence from web search results confirms the core elements of the claim: Norway's plan to ban social media for under 16s and the requirement for age verification.
