Social Media for Children Under Fire as Countries Tighten Rules

I’d like to share a development from the world of social media and digital regulation.

An increasing number of countries are introducing, or debating, restrictions for children and teenagers. Australia was the first to ban access to social media for users under 16, and France, the UK, and others are moving in the same direction.

The reasons are clear: cyberbullying, addiction, psychological pressure, and the risk of contact with dangerous individuals.

At the same time, these measures raise contentious issues, including privacy, strict age verification, and the limits of state intervention.

Why it matters: the social media sector is facing not only product challenges, but also a growing regulatory one.

Do you believe such restrictions truly work? #socialmedia #cybersecurity #regulation #digital
