Australia will become the first country to ban social media accounts for users under 16 starting December 10, Communications Minister Anika Wells announced. The government plans to monitor “migratory patterns” to prevent teens from shifting to other platforms. Compliance checks begin December 11, with a two-year review planned to assess the ban’s impact. Wells called teenage addiction a deliberate design feature by tech companies.
