Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen recently triggered a controversy over her comments comparing children's use of social media to smoking. Speaking about online safety, Mette Frederiksen was purportedly heard as saying, "If I had small kids today, I would rather have them smoking than allowing them to stay on their own on social media. But I am acting prime minister, so I will not say that." (sic)
She added, "There's something wrong with us... We still look into old threats, but there's a new one and it's much more present."
