Liberals propose support for parents against the internet giants

A national helpline for parents and parental controls enabled by default on new devices are among the measures the Liberals are now proposing to help Swedish parents reduce their children's screen time.

"We need to do more to support parents against the online giants. This is not something that we, as politicians or as a society, can leave parents to deal with alone," says Minister for Gender Equality Nina Larsson (L).

The proposal includes four measures: a national advice line and chat; mandatory parental settings as the default on all new mobile phones and tablets; special support in healthcare for young people with social media addiction; and more resources for associations and organizations in civil society.
