Australia has taken a pioneering step by becoming the first country to ban social media access for children under 16. This decisive action reflects a growing worldwide concern about the effects of digital platforms on young users’ health and safety.
This landmark law, enforced from December 2025, subjects major tech companies to strict compliance or face penalties reaching A$49.5 million. While Britain, China, and several European nations consider adopting similar measures, others like Denmark and France have already initiated regulations aimed at guarding minors against online threats.
Across the globe, governments are intensely debating and drafting legislation to limit minors’ access to social media, driven by the need to balance technological advancement and social well-being. Platforms like TikTok and Facebook face mounting pressure to enhance age verification, highlighting a broader push for online reform to safeguard children.
