Australia has Banned children under the age of 16 from using social media.

SHORT:

Australia’s Prime Minister has said that kids under 16 won’t be allowed to use social media, like Facebook and TikTok, because they can be bad for young people.

He wants tech companies to make sure this rule is followed, and they could get in trouble if kids find ways around it. This move makes Australia one of the countries with the toughest rules on social media for children.
