"Despite the implementation of teen social media bans in Australia, research shows that 70% of teens continue to access social media platforms, indicating significant loopholes in the restrictions."
"A study by the Molly Rose Foundation found that 61% of children aged 12 to 15 were able to circumvent social media bans, often by operating multiple accounts."
"The data suggests that restricting tech-savvy teens will be a tougher challenge than some policymakers had hoped, raising questions about the effectiveness of such bans."
EU leaders, led by Emmanuel Macron, are advancing plans to ban social media for teens under 16. This follows research indicating Australia's teen social media bans are ineffective, with 70% of teens still accessing platforms. A study by the Molly Rose Foundation revealed that 61% of Australian children aged 12 to 15 bypassed the bans, often using multiple accounts. The findings suggest that enforcing restrictions on tech-savvy teens will be more challenging than anticipated, prompting EU discussions on the next steps for proposed regulations.
