Australia Bans Social Media for Kids Under 16

Australia Bans Social Media for Kids Under 16

Australia has made a big decision to ban social media for kids under 16.

This is the first time any country has done this.

The reason is to protect children from too much screen time and the negative effects of social media.

While parents are partly responsible for controlling their kids' social media use, this ban is seen as a bold step to help.

People in other countries, like the United States, might start to think about doing the same thing to protect their kids.
