Australia's new law aims to keep kids off social media until 16, but faces challenges enforcing it and potential unintended consequences affecting free expression.
The ambitious initiative raises questions about enforcement and verification, as many children are already deeply integrated into social media, complicating the ban's effectiveness.

Experts debate whether this regulation will genuinely protect vulnerable youth or ultimately restrict their connections and opportunities for community engagement.
