Australia's Social Media Ban For Minors Ineffective

COPE Australia 2d16h Impact 6
Australia, the first country to attempt restricting social media access for minors under 16, has reported it is not succeeding. Only one in four minors under 16 are experiencing difficulties signing up for platforms, while the other three out of four do so without any issues. A study indicates that Australia's ban on social media for minors is not widely followed, with only one in four teenagers complying. Universities like Harvard, Chicago, and Pennsylvania were involved in the study.
