挪威计划禁止儿童使用社交媒体的提案将包括针对“危害性平台”的条款，政府周一表示，将影响消息传递和游戏服务 Roblox、Snapchat 和 TikTok 等。
Norway's planned social media ban for children will include provisions targeting "harmful platforms", the government said on Monday, naming messaging and gaming services Roblox, Snapchat and TikTok among those affected.
挪威于去年四月宣布，计划在本月底前向议会提交立法草案，禁止儿童在未满 16 岁前使用社交媒体，并将责任转嫁给科技公司进行年龄验证。当时未命名任何平台。
The Nordic country said in April it would present a bill in parliament by the end of the year to ban children from using social media until they turn 16, making technology companies responsible for age verification. It did not name any platforms at the time.
多个欧洲国家正在采取措施限制儿童使用社交媒体，此举紧随澳大利亚去年十二月实施的全球首例禁止 16 岁以下人群使用社交媒体的立法之后，该立法涵盖了 Facebook、Instagram、TikTok、Snapchat 和 YouTube 等应用。
Several European nations are seeking to rein in children's social media use after Australia took the lead with the world's first ban on under-16s last December, which included apps such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube.
挪威政府周一在声明中表示，该法案旨在应对儿童在社交媒体上面临的全部风险，并将影响“许多平台”。
Norway's government said in a statement on Monday that its bill was intended to address the full range of risks children face on social media and that it would affect "many platforms".
“包括接触有害内容、成瘾性功能、非法广告以及陌生人不请自来的接触等”，儿童与家庭部长 Lene Vaagslid 在声明中表示。
"This includes everything from exposure to harmful content and addictive features to illegal marketing and unwanted contact from strangers," Children and Families Minister Lene Vaagslid said in the statement.
她补充说，该法案为科技公司提供了移除有害内容和成瘾性功能的激励。
The planned legislation provides tech companies with an incentive to remove harmful content and addictive features, she said.
部长进一步定义所谓“危害性平台”为“因设计、功能或内容而对儿童的情感、认知或身体发展及安全构成风险的社交媒体”。声明中称：“政府认为 TikTok、Roblox 和 Snapchat 等平台将受该法案管辖。”部长未立即回应关于可能受影响的其他应用程序的提问。
The ministry went on to define what it called harmful platforms as "social media that, through its design, features or content, poses a risk to children's emotional, cognitive or physical development or safety." "The government believes that platforms such as TikTok, Roblox, and Snapchat will be covered by the law," it said. It did not immediately respond to a question about which other apps could be affected.
Snap Inc（SNAP.N）、Roblox Corporation（RBLX.N）和 TikTok 所有者 ByteDance 未立即回应评论请求。
Snap Inc (SNAP.N), Roblox Corporation (RBLX.N) and TikTok owner ByteDance did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
部长表示，儿童和青少年仍将能够使用被认定为无害的即时通讯服务和游戏。
Children and young people will still have access to messaging services and games that are deemed harmless, the ministry said.
