The big tech giants are doing far too little to protect our children and young people.

That is the message from Minister of Justice Nicolai Wammen (S), who today had representatives from Meta, TikTok, Google, Snapchat, Roblox and Discord in a meeting at the ministry, together with the organizations Save the Children and Digital Responsibility.

- The big tech giants have for too long done far too little, and that means that Danish children and young people are also paying a price for it, says Wammen.

According to the minister, children can, among other things, encounter sexual content, humiliation violence, be recruited by gangs, or be offered to buy drugs on social media.

- Therefore, the message is that the tech giants must step up now and join the fight.
