Victoria Kim, The New York Times; Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Floundering. Can It Still Help Younger Kids?
"Late last year, Australia became the first country in the world to institute a nationwide ban on children younger than 16 having social media accounts.
Six months in, most indications are that the law has largely failed at keeping young teens off the platforms, in a disappointing start to an initiative carefully watched by parents and governments around the world.
But some Australian parents say the real effect of the law may be for the coming cohort of younger kids who were not yet on social media, and who may stay off because of the ban."
