Simona Mohamsson, the Swedish Minister of Education, has extended an invitation for dialogue to all parties in Parliament regarding the potential implementation of age restrictions for social media usage. This initiative aims to foster bipartisan discussions on regulations related to screen time, particularly focusing on creating a screen-free environment in preschools and mobile-free schools. Mohamsson expressed her desire to clarify the political consensus on these issues, stating dissatisfaction with the current ambiguity surrounding screen policies from varied political factions.

In an interview with Svenska Dagbladet, Mohamsson emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts across party lines to address the growing concerns regarding children's screen time. Despite her proactive stance, she encountered skepticism from parties such as the Social Democrats, the Left Party, and the Center Party, who have expressed doubts about the sincerity and feasibility of the meeting. Mohamsson is keen to understand their positions and whether there is support for proposed reforms, including a ban on social media for children under 15 years old.

Despite the Minister's push, she clarified that the responsibility for these social media regulations does not solely lie with her, as the actual decisions regarding a potential 15-year age limit are with her colleague Jakob Forssmed. The meeting's invitation reflects the government's ongoing investigation into social media use among minors, but many remain cautious about the seriousness of the discussions, resulting in a somewhat desperate tone in the call for collaboration.
