Interdicția social media pentru cei sub 16 ani eșuează în Australia: tot mai mulți copii revin pe platforme • Newsweek România

In Australia, the social media ban for children under 16 is failing as usage of platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat rises again. Data from Qustodio shows that after an initial decline, many minors are returning to these sites, with some age groups exceeding pre-ban usage levels. Experts suggest that teens are circumventing restrictions using VPNs or false ages, while others have shifted to platforms not covered by the ban, like WhatsApp. The legislation aimed to protect minors from online risks, but its effectiveness is being questioned, prompting discussions on how to enforce age restrictions more effectively.
