Australia has become the first country in the world to ban social media for children under 16, blocking access to platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. Under the new law, platforms face fines of up to A$49.5 million if they fail to comply. While the move has been welcomed by many parents and child advocates, technology companies and free speech groups have criticized the restrictions. Several countries are now watching closely, considering whether to adopt similar measures.
