Seventeen-year-old Mac Holdsworth from Australia died by suicide after being targeted by a social media predator. To honor his memory, his father, Wayne Holdsworth, is launching the Unplug24 campaign on October 24, urging people to abstain from social media for 24 hours to raise awareness about online dangers. The campaign has garnered support from various public figures and advocates for raising the minimum age for social media access to 16, aiming to protect youth from similar threats.
