The idea is that such a tax will give companies financial incentives to change and that the money will go towards supporting civil society, among other things.
Social media companies earn billions of kronor from Swedish children and young people every year. But they sponsor nothing, they build nothing, they give nothing back, says C leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist at a press conference.
In addition, the party wants Sweden to be a driving force in the EU for platforms to be obliged to give external actors better insight into how the algorithms work.
C also wants to introduce a 15-year age limit on social media. A similar proposal was presented this summer in a government-appointed inquiry.
