Minister Calls for Age Limits and Supervision on Internet

Minister of the Interior Anne Holmlund has called for age limits and supervision to protect children and young people on the internet.

Addressing a seminar on the use of the internet by young users, Holmlund noted that on-line message boards are popular among the young. For that reason, she feels that they should have security personnel just like entertainment venues in the offline world do.

"A good image is important for a company. Part of responsible business should automatically include protection of children and young people. Similar discussion is needed with respect to the Internet. We need to set limits for content that is acceptable, and that which is not", Holmlund says.
