Most in Germany want Australia-style social media ban: poll DW 11/30/2024

A recent YouGov poll reveals that 77% of Germans favor a stringent social media ban for under-16s, reflecting deep concern over platforms' negative impacts on youth.
The Australian government has introduced new legislation to penalize social media platforms up to 49.5 million AUD if they permit under-16s to have accounts.
