Australia's new law prohibits social media access for users under 16, requiring companies like Instagram and TikTok to implement 'reasonable steps' by 2025, or face fines.

The law could make Australia a test case for how effective regulations on social media are enforced, potentially influencing similar actions in other countries.
Carmi Levy underscores the challenges, mentioning that while Pakistan's bans haven't succeeded in reducing access, Australia’s approach focuses on technology compliance and enforcement.
