There are calls the government take a tougher approach to social media use by teens.
A cross-party motion in parliament calls for new rules to control the algorithms that keep teens hooked.
Céline Amaudruz of the Swiss People’s Party, says existing laws focus on age limits, but fail to address systems designed to maximise attention and repeated exposure.
The proposal, backed by more than fifty MPs from across the political spectrum reflects concerns about young people’s mental health.
The Federal Council has so far urged caution, favouring further study.
Critics say delay risks leaving teenagers unprotected, while experts remain divided over whether regulation or education should come first.
