BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Denmark's government is barely quoted directly in the articles, which largely rely on AFP dispatches and official French statements

The coverage favors international comparisons, citing nearly twenty countries including Australia, over examining the technical feasibility of age verification

The Danish government's stance on potential national or European measures is scarcely covered, leaving its position largely unreported
