Most Aussies under 16 use social media despite restrictions
The Australian Internet Regulatory Authority has confirmed that over 80% of children under the age of 16 continue to use social media platforms despite a government ban imposed last December on these platforms for children under 16. The ban was put in place due to tech companies' failure to implement effective age verification mechanisms. The study showed that children's usage of these platforms remained at nearly the same levels as before the ban, with a decrease in the number of accounts and children accessing the platforms through unverified methods. The main reason for continued use is the platforms' failure to verify users' ages, despite the ban aimed at reducing the impact of social media on children's mental and physical health.
