flag Australia bans social media for under-16s, citing mental health, as global scrutiny of tech giants grows.

flag Australia has banned social media use for children under 16, the strictest such law globally with no parental exceptions, citing youth mental health and online exploitation. flag The move follows U.S. legal actions against Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube over claims they designed addictive platforms while downplaying harm. flag A major trial begins in January, with executives ordered to testify. flag Critics say companies failed to act despite internal evidence, while lobbying efforts and reduced fact-checking teams have drawn scrutiny. flag Australia’s approach, prioritizing government oversight, is drawing global attention as a potential model for regulating tech giants.
