Social Media Ban for Under-16s

Nine in 10 parents support Australian-style restrictions on social media for children, with the UK government considering a ban for under-16s.

Malaysia has already implemented such a ban, imposing fines up to $2.5 million on companies that violate the new law.

A new report also warns that girls with additional needs are at significant risk from social media algorithms, highlighting the potential for harmful online content.

This growing concern over children's online safety is driving governments worldwide to explore stricter regulations.
