Australia's social media ban fails to stop kids online

Australia's under-16 social media ban faces significant challenges, with new research showing more than 80% of children continue using social media platforms months after the law's implementation. The government has announced plans to double fines for non-compliant tech companies from $49.5 million to $99 million, though no tech giants have been fined yet. Cyber safety experts criticise the rushed legislation and inadequate enforcement framework, noting that many parents are actively helping their children circumvent age verification measures.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
