What happened: On the first day of Australia's new social media ban for under-16s, teenagers attempted to access their accounts and shared their experiences with the BBC.
Why it matters:
- The ban restricts social media use for younger teens, aiming to protect their online safety.
- It directly affects Australian users under 16, changing how they interact with social platforms.
MNN Take: Australia has introduced a law preventing under-16s from using social media without parental consent, reflecting growing concerns about youth online wellbeing.
