Australia recently implemented a nationwide ban preventing individuals under 16 from accessing social media, a measure championed by Anthony Albanese to protect youth from online harms.The legislation, inspired by Jonathan Haidt's "The Anxious Generation," mandates major social media platforms to prevent underage users or face fines up to $32.9 million, with eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant confirming enforcement.While Elon Musk raised concerns about privacy, Jakob Forssmed supports the move, prompting countries including Sweden, New Zealand, and EU members to consider similar protective regulations, as Roksana Schnittger noted parents should take this seriously.
