Countries Introduce Social-Media Bans for Children — Who’s Proposing What

Countries Introduce Social-Media Bans for Children — Who’s Proposing What

Friends, a quick update on social-media regulation: several countries are adopting or considering bans on children’s access to platforms.

Briefly:
- Australia has already banned social-media access for under-16s and requires age verification under threat of heavy fines.
- Denmark, France, Spain, Greece, Indonesia and others are proposing similar bans for ages 14–16.
- Critics warn of privacy risks and doubts about the effectiveness of verification.

Why this matters: businesses and product and security teams will need to rethink age verification and moderation strategies.

How do you view these measures?
