Countries Crack Down on Social Media for Kids

Countries Crack Down on Social Media for Kids

Many countries are taking action to keep children safe from social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.

These governments are worried about how these platforms can be addictive and harmful to kids.

Countries like Australia, France, Norway, Spain, New Zealand, and the UK are working on rules to ban or limit children's access to these platforms.

They believe that social media companies prioritize profit over the safety of young users.

The tech industry, however, argues that they have safety measures in place and that strict regulations could hurt their business.
