Australia's Social Media Ban for Teens Sparks Global Debate

A YouGov poll reveals that 77% of Germans support a ban on social media for under-16s, similar to a new Australian law. The survey indicates widespread concern over the harmful effects of social media on youth, with 82% believing it negatively impacts children and teenagers. Australia's law, effective in a year, will fine platforms like TikTok and Facebook for non-compliance, though enforcement methods are still being developed. Critics worry the ban may push teens to unregulated online spaces.
