SocietyAustralia’s under-16 social media ban is failing, study shows

A recent study disclosed by Australia’s internet regulator found that teenagers continue to use social media despite the ban. The findings suggest that the restriction on users under 16 has not fully prevented young people from accessing social platforms. The results raise questions about how effective the measure is in practice and what its consequences may be. The regulator’s disclosure highlights the gap between the policy’s intended effect and teenagers’ ongoing use of social media.
