Australia's Social Media Ban: Teens Find Workarounds
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Australias new law restricting ten social media apps for children under sixteen is facing challenges as teenagers find ways to bypass the age verification. Despite the governments aim to combat cyberbullying and online addiction, many teens are using VPNs or logging into parent-created accounts to access these platforms. The law, which includes popular apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, has sparked mixed reactions, with some teens finding it frustrating and others calling it a bit stupid. As school holidays approach, the impact of this nationwide social experiment remains to be seen.
