Title: Australia becomes first country to enforce nationwide social media ban for under-16s
Post by: Redaktion on December 12, 2025, 18:32:31
Australia has become the first country to impose a nationwide ban on social media use for under‑16s across ten major platforms, with companies facing multimillion‑dollar fines if they fail to take "reasonable steps" to block underage users. Framed as a historic child‑safety and mental health reform, the move has drawn global scrutiny for its broad reach, selective targeting of platforms, and potential cultural impact on how young people spend their time online and offline.

Like 2 days ago i was reading about a younger child taking seconds to circumvent that ban on Yahoo news. What the child did when the ban went into effect ; she simply held up her mom's photo to the scanner on the cellphone and that was enough age verification to continue using social media apks. 😉
