Reuters reports Denmark's government wants to increase children's data protection standards. Changes to the current regime on children's data would include increasing the age for individual consent to 15 or 16 and requiring companies to get parental consent for minors under that age. Danish Minister for Business Morten Bodskov said proposed changes address Big Tech's "opaque algorithms" and its aim to "harvest unimaginable amounts of personal information."
