New laws target child screen dependence
Several countries, including Australia, Europe, and Latin America, are moving toward enacting laws that limit the use of social media by children and adolescents under the age of 16, with the aim of protecting their mental health from addiction and cyberbullying. Australia was the first to pass legislation prohibiting those under 16 from creating accounts on major platforms like Facebook and TikTok, with fines imposed on violating companies. In Europe, laws are being considered to raise the minimum age to 16 and to strengthen parental monitoring, while in Argentina, discussions are leaning toward restricting children’s access to social media to those under 13, amid concerns over psychological and health impacts.
