Australian teens challenge social media ban in court

What happened: Australian teenagers have launched a legal challenge against a new law that prohibits users under 16 from having social media accounts, arguing it is unconstitutional.

Why it matters:

  • The law could significantly restrict social media access for millions of young Australians.
  • The court's decision may set a precedent on youth rights and digital regulation.

MNN Take: This case highlights ongoing debates about age restrictions on social media and the balance between protecting young users and their rights to online participation.
