The story behind Australia's social media ban for kids - and how it started with a politician's wife
Briefly

Australia's new legislation will implement a nationwide ban on social media for users under 16, a move that follows global debates on the mental health implications of social media.
With 77% of Australians supporting the ban, it highlights a significant move towards addressing public concern around the impact of social media on youth mental health.
The ban, driven by the cries of concerned individuals, including the wife of a state leader, reflects a growing parental desire for stricter controls over digital exposure for kids.
Despite global resistance about free speech and privacy from various countries, Australia has taken a decisive step with this ban, focusing on the wellbeing of young users.
