Australian teen social media ban shows limited effectiveness, study finds
A recent study indicates that Australia's ban on social media for individuals under 16 has had minimal impact, with a significant majority of underage users continuing to access platforms. Research suggests children are circumventing restrictions through various methods, leading to discussions about the law's enforcement and potential need for stricter measures. Experts are questioning the overall effectiveness of the ban in protecting minors from harmful online content.
