Four Storting MPs—Ida Lindtveit Røse, Jorunn Gleditsch Lossius, Jørgen H. Kristiansen, and Harry Valderhaug—have proposed introducing a 13-year age limit for smartphone purchases in Norway. The proposers argue that Norwegian children acquire smartphones earlier than children in most other European countries, and point to research showing links between early smartphone use and increased risk of cyberbullying, sleep problems, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
