Norway plans a sweeping social-media ban for kids under 15 , citing the harm it does to young minds.

The country already has a ban to age 13 , but acknowledges it is scarcely observed.

Critics argue that it is no substitute for parental responsibility.

The ban could come into force "sometime next year ," a government spokesperson said.
