https://upfile.neungyule.com/upload_admin/2026/01/1057_p04.jpgThe Australian government has taken dramatic action to protect its youth from the harmful effects of social media. As a result, Australia has become the first country to prohibit children under the age of 16 from using major social media platforms.

The unprecedented ban came into effect in December, when the Australian law started requiring platforms to block underage children. Those under the age requirement will be prevented from creating new accounts, while existing ones will be deactivated.

Furthermore, companies that repeatedly violate the ban will face fines of about 32 million dollars. Currently, the law covers about ten major platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube.

In other words, the ban works by making the social media companies themselves responsible for verifying ages. Children and parents will not be punished for violating the restriction.

To enforce the ban in Australia, social media platforms will use ¡°age assurance technologies.¡± These include direct methods such as government IDs and bank accounts, as well as biometric and inference tools like voice analysis and facial-recognition software that analyzes selfies.

Australia¡¯s government enacted the ban after growing concerns about mental health issues, cyberbullying, and addictive behaviors linked to social media usage. A recent study in Australia found that 70 percent of children under 16 had been exposed to harmful content on social media.

However, the new restrictions have faced numerous challenges. Some opponents contend that the ban infringes upon teenagers¡¯ freedom of expression and access to information, while others raise privacy concerns regarding personal data collection. In addition, the law is facing several court challenges from both companies and private citizens.

Now, countries around the world are closely watching how these restrictions play out in Australia. The situation could especially become a benchmark for several European nations that are already considering their own bans.
