Australia Proposes Social Media Ban for Under-16s Amid Safety Concerns

Australia has proposed a law to ban social media access for children under 16, prompting discussions on its practicality and effectiveness. Psychologist Jordan Horan from Kalamazoo highlights the negative impacts of social media on teens, such as anxiety and poor impulse control, and suggests 'social media hygiene' education as a solution. While the legislation aims to protect children, critics argue it is too blunt and requires refinement. The debate continues on balancing children's freedom with necessary oversight in the digital age.
