'It's insulting they think we can't handle it': The Australian teens banned from social media; BBC, December 10, 2025

Katy Watson , BBC; 'It's insulting they think we can't handle it': The Australian teens banned from social media

"With nearly all her friends living at least 100km away, social media is a lifeline. But not anymore, now that Australia's social media ban for children has taken effect.

"Taking away our socials is just taking away how we talk to each other," Breanna says. 

While she can still text her friends, it's not the same as a quick "snap" or a "like" on a photo that allows her to play a part in their lives even when she is far away."
